[TowerTalk] SteppIR recommended rotor

I recall reading either here or elsewhere that a T2X was not really capable of lasting very long if it had to turn a SteppIR DB18 beam. Is this true?  If a Tailtwister cannot handle the DB18, can it handle the 3el yagi with the loop center element providing a rotatable dipole on 30/40m?
I can read the ratings as well as anyone so I am asking what people's experiences have been.
And finally, can my TX-472 tower handle it as well.
