Hi Dave,
I reckon its a good idea to put binoviewers and even good eyepieces on hold until you get familiar with your scope and what it can/can't do and what you like doing. The laser collimator is a good idea imo - I find mine very easy to use. You may find that Bob's Knobs will be a good investment down the track. The collimation knobs that came with mine were a bit tedious. Have a look at the modification projects for these scopes on IIS once you've had a play.
If the 32 mm ep is the 3 element Kellner, it helps you find things but is not great to look through. I still found it enough to be going on with and the plossl eps that came with my scope were certainly good enough to keep me happy for a while. A telrad is a very good investment to help find things.
Also, have you looked through telescopes much? Some people buy a big scope expecting to see things as they appear in images, but bear in mind that you will only see monochrome in direct observing. And some objects like galaxies will take a bit of observing with averted vision to really appreciate. I may well be telling you something that you already know, but it seems to me that many people new to the forum get a bit disapointed with their new telescopes if they haven't had previous experience to set appropriate expectations. Apologies if I'm saying something that you're already aware of.
