Clive, sorry I could not answer your question but Alex took care of it for me.
I still reckon that even if you have to spend another 1500 on the scope to get it right, it is still far cheaper than buying an RC from RCOS. So there is still value for money. Ok maybe it should have better back focus, and maybe it should have a better focusor, but the main thing is the optics. My C14 I changed the focusor to a microshift moonlight and that was a 8K scope. So I am not worried about that. My only concern was the mirror figure. Which looks ok at present.
Even with fainter objects you can image for longer. I know two guys in Adelaide who are imaging with an EQ6 for up to one hour subs. Stars are perfectly round. So guiding is just a matter of getting that right and the images will come.
I will report more as I fix and image more. Stay tuned.
Hope I answered everyones questions. If not just give me a reminder.
Regards
