True, but Marks point is important. This is a serious compromise and I would expect the "basics" to be at least right even in a cheaper scope. The price dictates other compromises (optical quality and glass type for example), but you don't want your mirror bending all over the place making things worse. I'd like to know how much of a problem this ends up being in practice.
I can't help but think Meade would have been better off going for an 18 point flotation than this setup, and I imagine there will be a lot of talk about this problem with plenty of ways/options of addressing/modifying the scope to overcome it.
Just my 2 cents anyway.
