The primary takes a little longer, having to look down the front to see if the laser is hitting the center spot on the primary mirror.
After lots of reading today, I've decided to get one of the cheshire eyepiece/collimators tomorrow. I think the one at Bintel is a sighting tube/cheshire combination device, if not I'll make a sighting tube myself. Really curious to see how much better my dob is when properly collimated as I'm pretty sure it's out more than a touch.
