FremanWarrior. It is amazing how many people on this forum are computer gamers!
The good thing about the premium bintel dob you are looking at is it comes with a crayford focuser. Others like Skywatcher (mine) do not and this can be a pain after a while with focusing and will be more important later when you want to image.
Also, I have every intention of taking my 10" dob and putting it on an EQ mount down the track. I have read numerous reviews of others who have done just that without problems. This thread is the first I have heard about any flex problems.
