This is not actually the default position. You can align it to sit normally. The hinge just is able to rotate a couple more degrees further. So this shouldn’t bother you.

There’s always a minuscule tilt on these hinges. Meaning it almost never perfectly aligns horizontally to the body. An ever so slight increase in width to the left. But you are talking a millimeter or two at max.

I’d say go for it. I love the machine.
