You answered your question before you asked it! The only tinkering you should have to do is collimation. Unless of course you actually ENJOY tinkering.

ODK10 looks okay - shame about the exchange rate though. If you want to capture galaxies, be careful going below 2000mm. I did some at 1760 with my TOA (that's F11.7) with good results but I was never really happy with the image scale (using an STL).
