This refractorholic is seeking a cure for aperture fever.

So for all Skywatcher 12" Collapsable Dobbie users give me their thoughts on this scope. I'm interested in this one over other Dob's for the ability to use bino's without the OCS, by shortening the distance the UTA is from the mirror.
Is there any flex in the UTA with heavy eyepieces? Is the scope just as good as it was when new with the collapsable parts? Hope this makes sense and finally if anyone has a 10" do you wish you had gone a bit bigger?
The only Skywatcher reflector I've had was an 8" Black Diamond which was a really nice scope.
