I suppose forums like this (and mainly Cloudy Nights) are one way for the user's experiences good and bad to filter back to the manufacturers.
I've been into this hobby since the early '90s and I've owned my fair share of gear and agree you get what you pay for, and sometimes you don't! Sometimes expectations exceed reality. Don't want to incur the wrath of the TV devotees, but I've always thought the price tag too high for the experience at the eyepiece...there I said it!!!!
But as a non-novice, I know that a bit of tinkering and modification is often required at the price point of a mount like this. Might not be the way it should be, but it sure is the way it is!
The novice may not realise this and become disillusioned with their purchase and perhaps the hobby.
For the novice, paying $1K for a mount alone - they might expect it to perform out of the box and would rightly expect to GET what they are paying for!
All the best
