Henry,
one of the things I'd consider would be the necessary collimation gear. Either a laser collimator (about 70 bucks), or some of the guys here prefer a cheshire eyepiece collimator. I haven't used one of these but they get great reviews. If you get a laser collimator, remember to make sure the collimator is collimated first. This just involves resting the device lengthways on a very simple mini-trestle type thing, and beaming the dot onto a surface a couple of meters away. You expect the dot to turn on itself, not transcribe a circle on the surface. If it does transcribe a circle, you'll have to collimate the collimator first, which is easy enough most times.
Also, in time you'll probably want a better quality EP than those supplied with the scope.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
