The "focussing mechanism" is the same as the old F10 units, but i believe it now has a 2speed knob as default.
Tony is correct in that the sled now rides on preloaded bearings, vs grease, and hence has very little mirror shift. ( but the 12,14 and 16" units do have mirror locks, as ( i believe ) the sled was so free to move that the springing in the focus arm caused changes in focus as you slew).

Not sure if anyone has made a motor unit for the new Meade focus knob tho.
