Whew. For a while there BC I thought you might walk the plank.
Great to hear your on track now
Good point you've raised on collimation tools. As with most things, you get what you pay for. Though the cheshire from Andrews is recommended a lot here(because of the price), its not the be all and end all of collimation tools. Theres a vast array of tools available, from the cheap and better than nothing.....up to the expensive and well worthwhile. Each tool has a drawback and more often than not 2 tools are required, one to remove the errors of the other. Do some research on the tools available and grab a well designed and highly recommended unit.
