You're right about that - the accuracy of the pointing model is the reason why I bought this mount so why compromise it with mirror flop?
Fortunately, a new scope is not required. I just had to clear a bit of space to access the back of the shed where I had a nice 10" F3.8 astrograph sitting for a year doing nothing. A quick clean and re-collimation and it's installed and ready to go.
