How's the play in the focuser for the ZWO guide scope?

Anyone seen the new Sky-Watcher Evoguide 50ED guide scope? More money then I want to spend but looks interesting.
Focus is helitical, rock solid and then once focus is reached you have 2x thumbscrews to lock it down. I replaced the plastic screws in the rings with metal Allen keys ones from the hardware store [$3] and it is rock solid as far as I’m concerned. Always finds multiple guide stars using my zwo 120 colour camera (the colour cam is less sensitive than the mono)
I’ve tried an OAG and prefer this scope over that.....I have one on each of my rigs, got rid of the OAG ages ago
Can’t recommend it highly enough in my opinion.
