Yes mine is the same, 285mm fully out, I can't see them being any longer as when fully retracted it is equal to the internal length of the head as I recall.
I guess that's not to say they wouldn't make one that protrudes when fully in but I haven't seen any like that being advertised.
Mine is as far as I know one of the later models as it's about nine months old and it came with the newer dual dovetail head that takes both Vixen and Losmandy plates.
