With the Orion combo tool I possess, there seems to be some sort of expectation that the sight-tube cross-hairs will come into sharp focus as seen visually (not the reflection) - this is really rarely true and some (like Erick) find this incredibly disconcerting - however it is of absolutely zip/zero/ nada consequence with regards to achieving excellent collimation!

I still think the Andrews Cheshire is fine, still go cross-eyed looking at those Orion crosshairs
I've bought an AstroSystems autocollimator to play with as well.
Frosty, you'll work out what suits you in the collimation chase and finderscope challenges! Keep reading and trying things - borrow and experiment at star parties.
