Skywatcher Quattro - which focuser should it come with?

Today I purchased a Skywatcher Quattro 250 Newtonian OTA. When I took it from the box I was surprised to see a standard dual speed Crawford focuser. I was expecting a "linear power" focuser which I believe is the version with a lock knob on top, tension adjustment on the bottom, and a stainless rail that the focuser shaft rides on instead of just a flat on the focuser tube.

Looking online some sites show the standard focuser, some the linear power, some both on the same page! The Aussie skywatcher page shows a photo with the linear power focuser but it's the c.f. version.

Did the steel tube version ever come with the better focuser or was it just for the c.f. tube version? Anyone who's bought one recently what focuser does yours have?
