Hi Paul,
Although your new telescope should have worked perfectly
straight out of the box I don't think that any of the problems you've encountered
will prevent you from turning this telescope into a fine instrument
that will serve you well.
All the right things are there: a carbon fiber tube &
it looks like a top mirror along with proper tube rings
and other accessories.
You know how to use CCDInspector & that should enable you
to adjust your corrector spacing for a flat field & achieve perfect collimation.
The large corrector & focuser should allow you to achieve
a nice even illumination of your camera chip.
Hopefully you'll find that the collimation will hold in all
usable angles for pointing the telescope.
I wish you well & hope to see you produce some fine images in the near future.
cheers
Allan
