If i went with a collapsible is it a worthwhile endeavor to get a shield for it? I've seen them for around $39. And would a laser colminator be a worthwhile investment straight up (about $75) or would that be better spent getting say a 6mm and 15mm eyepiece?
Thanks again!

I will admit right now that I know pretty much nothing about telescopes and rely on other people's opinion, but I think you're better saving the $75 for a good eyepiece. I found a tutorial on the internet of how to collimate your telescope with just a piece of card. It worked for me and I haven't had any issues since.
I have a collapsible dob (130mm) and I love it. They're definitely great for portability.
That's about all the help I can give. If you'd like, I can hunt down the link to the tutorial?
