Not quite so heavy - about 1.6kg vs 2.3kg - but I have had no problem usign a 165mm Super Angulon onthe Phillips 8x10 - felt as solid as anythign else - I never felt the standard locks were close to not beign able to hold it.
In fact I used to have a huge 12" 4.5 lens in a massive Betax shutter that I'm sure probably weighed more and again, it never seemed a problem

Not quite what you were asking Jan, but an alternative is the 240 Computar. It's pretty close in focal length to the 210 and it covers 11x14 at f22 and offers some movement. It's a small lens and often inexpensive, but not that easy to find. Good luck!
Regards, Pete
