I don't think this is quite true. I have a Nextstar8 with a busted corrector, and Celestron sell the correctors as a spare part, I've just baulked at the $750 price tag. And you don't have to send the scope back, you can order the part through your dealer. I can't see that each corrector could be custom crafted to suit each mirror, it just wouldn't be commercially viable to do that much work on a mass produced scope.
