Glad thats the solution. Do not why SW insist on doing it that way. The way GSO it is the focuser natively takes 2" EPs and you use an adapter for the 1.25" That also means you can use other adapters such as TV high hats if needed.
Re: Collimation. Glad you seem to have the hang of it. Just one quick question. Are you only using the laser? If so be aware that a laser is really only useful for the final tweaking (IMHO). Try to get a Cheshire or similar to do you collimation correctly. If found if I used the cheshire every month or 2 and then used the Laser as a tweaking check each night that worked OK in my 12".
Also, and this is something I keep repeating in these forums, don't stress too much about collimation. Try a little experiment sometime. Set up your scope collimated as well as you can and have a look at a few stars. Then deliberately throw it out a bit. I will bet you will struggle to see much difference unless you really throw it a long way out. I know as I have done this!
Good collimation helps, but it should never become so important taht it takes away observing time.
