Weighting is probably solvable as you mention, but the Dob's "stictuitiveness" may change a little with the heaviest arrangement (Barlow plus binoviewer plus extra weight at the base). Just make sure you know how it feels with the extra stuff. It is probably OK but its worth checking.
I don't know how to check in-focus without the binoviewer actually in hand. I presume you got the OCS (Optical Correction System) which I think still comes with the bino Denk II package. In any case, Denkmeier is wonderful about answering questions so if you have questions about focus, they may already know a customer using this Dob or you can check a CN group member on one of the other forums to see if anyone has had issues. Last, of course, just test it yourself and make sure you can get focus. Mine was OK but I had to adjust holes in the trusses to get a little more in-focus for astro video, which also needs quite a bit in-focus. If your system is coming quite soon, just test it when it comes with a few EPs then stick the binoviewer in. It will be part of the fun of testing. This will be a good week to catch the moon in early evening, so you have a good test window. Have fun.....and even sketch when you test!!
