Feathertouch conversion

Just seeing if anyone has converted their original focuser on a Tak refractor to the latest Feathertouch full focuser unit {not the micro assembly} and happy with the upgrade.
Thinking of changing one on a TSA-120, the focuser is good but for fine movements with heavy loads {even a 2 inch diagonal with a largish eyepiece} inward focus is not possible.
The feathertouch is rated for 15 pounds which is great but wonder if that is with the brake semi/fully engaged. Also the adapter/collar has three set screws that function as a camera adjuster, looks good but worried about how it self centres /collimation ?
