Weight Reduction Questions

Several questions on reducing the weight of our gear for travel to Lukla. First of all, I'm assuming our outfitter will be supplying tents and that we won't need to be bringing them on flight. Correct? Also, are the restrictions on what we bring to Lukla strictly to do with weight (50 pounds?) For my Ecuador climbing trip, in addition to my pack, I brought a large Northface duffel. I had trouble fitting everything in the duffel that I wasn't carrying in pack though. I also have an XL Northface duffel. That's what I used on my previous Nepal trek but didn't know if I'd have problems with its dimensions on Lukla flight.
