Congratulations Luke: you will have a lot of fun with that scope.
Just a comment about collimation: you don't need a laser: on old film canister with a hole in the centre does a great (and very cheap) job!
I reckon you are better off saving the money you would spend on a laser collimator and putting it towards getting extra eyepieces or other accessories (like that adjustable chair) down the road... and, as someone has pointed out, some of the cheaper laser collimators aren't in collimation themselves!
If you are just moving the scope in and out to the back yard, it is unlikely to get out of collimation very often anyway; it may if you are driving somewhere over rough roads.
Enjoy opening the scope on Xmas morning!
