and want to spend the money i'd say go ahead [personally i wouldn't put much money in a 60mm refractor for astronomical use- too limited in the light grasp. IMO you'd be better served by saving the $$ and putting it towards a bigger scope].

If you do get another focuser and some EPs, keep in mind that the Mr for a 60mm aperture is about 30x so i wouldn't recommend going overboard and getting eyepieces that generate too much mag w/ your OTA.
[personally i wouldn't ever bother trying to push a 60mm past 100x and would probably limit it to about 60x or 70x max].
