Jase that is the problem with commercial production I guess. Celestron, Meade and a few others have this very same issue really. I frequently read statements on various forums that people are sending back scopes because of issues with the optics. Yes you pay for what you get. However, I think that US and European scope specialists are charging way too much. This will eventually change though as the Chinese and Taiwanese get things under control.
I am glad to see that this was a preproduction model and that the new one he is getting has been tested by S&T. Personally I would not be happy with those results. Not one image is in sharp focus and I would hazard to say that the results I have obtained so far exceed the linked examples. Not as good as an RCOS for sure but very close to the mark. If you want that extra 10% you need to pay that much more money I guess (not that I agree one should). If I received a 10" like that I would send it back without any question.
