I've asked Andrews to replace my baffle and confirm that the scope he sold me was an F/8 as advertised
These reflections did not appear in every image I've taken and were most apparent in an image I took off M83 but not apparent in anything else except maybe the recent shot I took of M30 which I'm still not convinced was an internal reflection caused by the scope.
As mentioned internal reflections as displayed are quite common in SCT's and the like.
The replacement of the focuser is a personal choice if your not happy with the rigidity of the stock one.
As far as I'm concerned they are a good scope for the price and will produce the results
