I think that you are right. Best to see if you can borrow one from someone first - at a star party. If you have to buy now, unless you can spend a lot of money (eg. Televue Ethos or Pentax), I suggest that you look at Televue plossl eyepieces or the Vixen LV (which will give better eye relief than the plossl). Both these should give a better views than the GSO plossls.
Yes - agree with collimation, well-cooled mirrror and good seeing conditions as pre-requisites.
