The collimation mod is a must do IMO. Look into astronomyshoppe.com though and you may find the kit cheaper. All the other mods will provide differing returns but this is probably the first you'd do.
A more durable finish on the rings would be to powder coat flat black, I think this only cost about $40 for the four. I think I'll do the trusses too.
Shrouds give a bit of peace of mind in case something is dropped but also helps with dew (as well as keeping out the light). I always use mine.
The inside of the tubes aren't real black either so might like to flock or repaint here too.
If you use big EPs or big barlows etc you may need to add some counter weights.
There are other mods which I can't think of at the moment but I'm others like the ever helpful astronut who know what can be done
Cheers
