Coma Aberration - Persist or desist?

After spending another few hours testing my 'home made' behemoth,

I have reached a point of turning it into a shaving mirror.

Even after installing a coma corrector, it just made things worse.

The collimation was set using a laser. Didn't help much...

Guiding was atrocious (it was a little windy).


Should I persist in trying to get it to work, or bite the bullet and buy something decent?
