Minor scratches will only induce minor scatter. For most people it will not matter and will likely pass unnoticed at the eyepiece. I think the original issue with this scope was not the minor scratches per se, rather that the seller's description did not match the scopes condition.
I think you will enjoy the scope as a fine visual scope, especially since the excessively thick spider vanes have been machined to better specs. I had one of these several years ago and it gave superb visuals of M42 from a very dark Jindabyne....
Let me know when you're ready to collimate.
