By the way, I've been researching and reading comments about the primary mirror baffle and strange light reflections from this kind of scope.

I can confirm this occurs and have not extended the baffle to correct it. So far my images have not needed correction to the scope, I've seen the reflections and can get around them by positioning my chosen target so that it does not create reflections. However, a baffle extender can be created for this, or procured from Teleskop or a number of other places.

Here's an explanation of what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHuLrYe-oik
