Collimation is not difficult. Your scope should arrive with the secondary mirror in the right position, but it's worth checking and not hard to adjust. Mostly you will just need to adjust the tilt of the secondary and primary mirrors and this is quite straightforward with laser collimator. It sounds hard when you read the articles about it, but it's not. If you do get to an observing night, I'm sure someone can show you the basics. The extra aperture that you'll get with a reflector is well worth it.
