sw/saxon dobs, any difference with crayfords, spiders?

I've been keeping an eye out for deals on a sky watcher collapsible dob and noticed that some stores sell the Saxon version.

For all intents and purposes is this the same product, one having black paint, the other white?

Would the mirrors, spiders, focusers be the same and just perhaps sold with different eyepieces?

I read one review which said the Saxon 10" dob had a focuser that did not have the brass compression rings, is this the case with the skywatchers too?

Can someone provide some close up pics of the sky watcher crayford and it's 2" and 1.25" adaptors?

Would also like to know if the gso 10:1 or Orion 11:1 crayfords bolt onto the sw/saxon flex tubes.

Need to wait a while anyway as I went a bit mad on collecting glass this past month...
