Improving a 6" refractor

Hi all, hope you guys are having a wonderful 2010!

I got a new scope...I know, it is not an APO triplet but I'm very happy and it is delivering very nice view, in specific cases even better than my main scope. Let's get to the point of my post.

Question 1:
As it is an achromatic refractor I'm dealing with colour fringing on bright objects, not really that much but it still an issue.
Have you guys any personal experience with Chromacor or V-Block filters? Are they really good as per their are promising?

Question 2:
Also, I absolutely need to change the focuser.
Any recommendation beside the expensive MoonLite and similar?

The model that I got is the Skywatcher 150x1200 pictured below:
