agree that collimation is a real PITA. I'm looking at getting the suite of catseye tools as the orion laser collimator is just too hit and miss.

After the simplicity of the 400D and camera lens setup on the EQ6 i can really see the appeal of a refractor for the beginner. However (once you have collimation sorted) the light collection area of the newtonian is still a winner for me, especially with a one-shot-colour camera like the 400D.
