Hard to drop the habit!
The majority of mass produced scopes are really pretty good in terms of fit and finish. Adding higher quality parts soon puts you in the custom made category and at that point, unless you enjoy doing it, you might as well order an SDM.
You can swap out focuser for a Moonlite or better yet a Feathertouch and trade out the secondary for a curved one. Replace the mirror to a hand crafted gem and rebuild the base but at that point you will have spent several times your original buy price.
The current mass produced scope are pretty good so yes, concentrate on your viewing comfort and ergonimcs...scopes change, owners don't figure out those things that will keep you viewing longer.
The optics that you already have are light years better than those available to scientists of th past....now you just need to use them.
