No matter what scope you buy, aperture fever always strikes about 2 weeks later.

You should get in the habit of collimating newts each time you use it, whether solid or truss. Remember, with collimation, do not solely rely on a laser collimator, a Cheshire will give best results and you can use the laser to tweak or if setting up after dark.

Light leakage can be an issue but a simple shroud can solve that problem.

I am not a big fan of the eyepiece and filter kits unless your scope comes without any eps. Even then I would recommend a beginner buy a 25mm and 15mm plossl and save their cash for some really good EPs later on when they know what they want.
