Gee those quality issues are a shame. I know for a 20" dob it's still possibly considered a "low end" scope (compared to Obsession, SDM, etc), but really some of those things are cheap to fix and should have been well and truly knocked on the head during the development stage.
I'm glad your limited time at the eyepiece has at least seemed rewarding - if an experienced observer says the views are good, then perhaps this mitigates some of the quality issues. Perhaps. Interesting to see it's a two-man job: there's a YouTube video of it being put together by one chap (Adriano), but to be fair it didn't look like much fun doing it solo.

Patrick,
Fully agree with you, I went into this purchase considering it as a "low end" scope. As I mentioned to Lewis, so far it seems adequate for what I want to use it for. Like most things in life I suppose it is a compromise of cost versus fit for purpose considerations.
