If you do a Google on ' How to make my Dob mount better ' you will find 1000's of utube and other sites giving instructions on making them easier to use and it wont cost a bundle just your time ,,, its time well spent as you will get to know the scope better .
There are also a few right here on IIS that are help full in the 'Projects & Articles' section .
I disagree with Peter on the focuser tho , you really dont want to spend $600 for a FT ( as good as they are , and thats VERY good ) on an $800 scope ?? , as always old 'Mate' Google has all the info on how to fix the standard focuser , that's if it even needs it as the newer ones are way better than they were say 5-10 years ago , perfectly OK for visual .
Most of all just enjoy the views 10 inches can give , that's if you decide to buy .

Thanks so much, that makes me feel better about the scope lol! I was concerned about it optically performance on planets and deep space wise.
