I am posting a link to the Orion salesman review, of the 8" tube based version

https://youtu.be/6_25qjndvm0

I make the point that this is a salesman talking. If you listen at about 1:20 into the video he mentions flat field correction in passing. I have no idea if he is correct about correction.
Chances are the 10" design is the same, at least in terms of the mirrors, focuser (as far as I have been able to deternine). The 10" truss design will not have the baffling that the 8" tube version does, although there is likely a baffle tube below the secondary as in the RCs. Central obstruction is 34% which is less than a RC.

And Greg, yes longer focal length than the RC08, as it's an f12, it will be 2400mm for the 8" version and 3000mm for the 10" version.
