    Hi Efficientjelly, thanks for commenting. Just to explain, this was at the time a review of an early prototype, so it would have then been unfair to comment on performance.

    I'm using those braces already, they make a huge difference to the wobble on the x-axis. I have them on the front and back.

    To be fair, having them on one side makes a big difference, probably enough for most people.
