That as well. it can be less than intuitive trying to drift align with the likes of PHD2 but it is doable. Most people who start out drift aligning and then get a polemaster or similar setup never look back though.
If you get an OTA with more than a couple of hundred mm focal length and you want to get multi minute exposure times, guiding becomes more and more essential and that does give you equipment to drift align with more easily than other methods.
