i ordered the GSO ASDX 8" Dob from Andrews a couple weeks ago for a mate, it came with 4 EPs, 6/9/25mm 1.25" and 32mm 2", i asked for the 32mm instead of the 26mm 2". the 32mm SP had much nicer/wider view than the std 1.25" plossl but ive never used anything other than the GSO and Andrews EPs that came with my 6" dob. i pretty much just use the 25mm and 9mm but if i could get a 32mm for it i would.
the 10:1 crayford focuser is heaps better than the old R&P one ive got, the roller base bearings are a lot smoother than my old teflon pads and the new alt bearing/tension setup seemed to work pretty well.
you wont need any new EPs for a while the 4 that came with it would be plenty, 32/25mm for just looking around and the 9/6mm for the planets. the 6mm really only on the good seeing nights.
we're in SA and the scope arrived with good enough collimation out the box, the mirror had the center marked too.
