Unfortunately, the sad truth is that there are not many options for those looking for competitive pattern planes right now. At least for those of us who don't want to build a basic kit nor spend $3000 for a top notch ARF. The "value priced" buyer has to live with the less than perfect stuff or do what? There are no options. Send it back, yes that would be justified and now you have nothing at all. There is obviously a demand for these planes but the manufacturers are familiar with building tons of sport and sport scale planes, not planes which must be built with the precision that a competitive plane requires. I'm sure everyone who bought one of these would pay the extra $50 to have the plane built right and to be able to order it with confidence that it will arrive "right" and not require re-engineering and lots of time fixing it to make it right.
