I thought the general consensus was that it IS finite and has a relative center point?

Nah in the past it looked like a pretty homogeneous mass when zoomed out enough. I assume this center of rotation is no more of a "pure center of the universe" than our sun is.

I'd imagine its just a local maximum for gravity.

No, the general consensus is that it seems to be infinite and has no relative center point.
