Lasers as a collmination tool just like all advances in technology are to help people, they are great to get the tilt on your secondary spot on in a matter of a few minutes and the ceshire to align the primary. sure you don't need both straight away, but your advice to buy more budget eye pieces and doubling up for that matter wasn't a great call.
You look in the eye pieces section the golden advice given there was, its better to spend decent money on 1 eye piece instead of getting the same amount of moneys worth of budget eye pieces.
I don't mean to be rude but man. When i first asked the question of what telescope everybody said dob. okay well and said, you pick your wepon of choice, though theres big traps for newbies. one is buying a heap of budget junk that you will no doubt get rid of and buy what everybody told you to buy in the first place.
In my honest opinion $49 for a laser collinator is extreamly cheep. Why put Black and Gold oil in your 1/2 mill Porche???
This is the last im going to say as i cant be bothered anymore...
