Steve, It's good to have another Lightbridge on the block.
If you haven't bought a collimator yet, BUY ONE NOW!!!
I've only ever used a refractor, so when it came to a reflector I was

about collimating.
A very experienced Telescope maker in our club told me to forget about the new fandangled lasers and buy a cheshire.
I purchased the Orion from Bintel ($69) and followed the
very easy and precise instructions.
Now with the new collimation hand operated knobs, even a dumb b.....m like me finds collimating simple. Trust me
