Hi Scott!
How important is the focuser's alignment?..that's a damn good question!!..cause good mechanical alignment from focuser to secondary and secondary to primary delivers the image to your eyepiece. A couple of ways to check this...put a laser collimator into the focuser..turn it on..then adjust the focuser fully in and out at the same time watch the beam on the primary mirror..if it moves across the primary..then the focuser needs adjustment until the beam is stationary...
Cheers!!
