I actually prefer that the bar doesn't swing at all. If I want it out of the way, I will push it.
While the 1000 baseplate and saddles may be OFR materials, the bar seems low quality.
Ive ordered a FRS bar from stewmac, mainly because I want the extra height. I chose the FRS instead of OFR bar.
I think the 1000 bar is following the OFR design, but without the tight german tolerances. (either that or it was swapped somewhere. )The FRS bar is designed with a longer shaft and threads and probably less susceptible to poor manufacturing.
