Thats helpful regarding my hydraulic steering question. Do you mean
that it requires a bit more rotation but has less slop or slack when
changing directions?

Different Tom here, but I can give you my experience.

There is considerably less slack when turning and the changes aren't
as abrupt as they are with mechanical steering - the changes are
smooth and easy.

Oddly, you do get some feedback from hydraulic steering - it's not a
lot, almost ephemeral, but it's there.

Rotation is about the same lock to lock.
