Hi guys, I'm looking at purchasing the Bintel GSO BT252 10" F4 Carbon Truss Newtonian to upgrade my current steel newt, does anyone have this and any issues with it?

I currently have a 10" F5 GSO steel OTA and while it works ok, it suffers really badly from tube flex when slewing (collimation goes out of alignment), so looking at something a lot more rigid. It'll be carrying a ZWO ASI1600MM Pro, 7 position filter wheel, ZWO OAG and Orion SSAG for autoguiding. I'll also swap over my Moonlite 2" focuser to this.
There's a 4 month wait minimum at the moment for it because of a parts shortage, so plenty of time to make up my mind.
Cheers, Mike
