Hi David and welcome,
I was in the same boat not so long ago... got my 8" dob back in Jan and it's been great. I only recently picked up a Telrad but doing so sooner would've saved a lot of frustration.
I have a Telrad and finder scope now and find both essential. For a beginner the Telrad helps a great deal in minimising error when trying to find objects or targeting the star at the start of a path to an object.
Definitely recommended. Good luck,
Iain
