A true floatation cell is not just the domain of $100,000 professional scopes. Its the domain of the majority of home built and commercial dobsonians.
I would expect the material to do the job properly would be worth a *few dollars* extra Any low cost or fancy home built dob would have a properly designed floatation cell because it is only a few minutes work, and the techniques are well known.
When you buy your low cost mass produced scope, you don't have choices about how things were done, so enjoy, but don't expect some of the things were done to make technical or economic sense .
Anyway I'm sure a cell improvement will appear as an after market `mod' in no time
