fantastic improvement Chris. That looks great. Wait for your mates comments when you get your first Jupiter or Saturn shots. They'll be blown away.
If you want to balance out your scope a bit plus add a bit more weight (increase inertia to reduce movement from the shutter snapping) you could try ballaratdragons modification of adding magnets to the bottom of your OTA on the sides. Because they are not permanently fixed you can slide them up and down and round the circumference of the OTA to get a nice balance. Then you can remove them when you don't need them for visual work.
