Any recommendations on eyepieces that work with this scope that are on sale as well?
From what I've gleamed from posts, maybe one 9mm - 15mm and one 32mm - 40mm that fit this?? And a 2x Barlow??
Saw a powerseaker kit, but guessing that is only for the powerseaker scopes?
Thanks!!!

Avoid kernel. go for Plossl at minimum for eye pieces. Televue and Explore Scientific are expensive. Orion eye pieces are probably a good start. You could also check Cloudy Nights and buy used eye pieces. the 9mm won't be used as much if you're at a city or even rural. the 15mm will get used often. if you're in rural, maybe the 12mm. if you're out in the middle of nowhere and can see the Milky Way with the bare eye, then a 9mm or 8.8mm will work really well.
I don't own a Nexstar, but based on what I have read, you'll probably want to pick up a battery pack (otherwise these things eat up batteries) + dew shield (or make your own) to start with. As for eyepieces, you can play with what it comes with for now. But you'll probably want something like a 32mm plossl, unless it comes with one (no idea what eyepieces are included).
I suggest those who get these scopes and are unsure what to get, go over to cloudy nights and post in the beginner section. They are super helpful.

Knowing & experiencing this, would I do it all over again? ABSOLUTELY!

Based on this I just bought the 6SE figuring if it doesn't work out I can Ebay it and not take too much of a haircut.
Any recommendations on starting out with it?
Since my father has a 16" reflector up in the mountains without any light pollution, I was going to cheap out and get the 4" for my suburban home. But for the tiny 170 dollar price difference, why not get the 6" and gather double the light? I dont need much for my kindergartner, but constantly moving our non-clock drive reflector to keep planets in view was getting old quickly.

Good for you posting what you cant see, but what about what you can?

If you have interest in seeing planets and such, these are pretty good.
Yes, there are scopes that will allow you to see much more, but they arent necessarily ideal for a beginner.
Anyone who has interest, absolutely check out https://www.cloudynight

But, knowing the light that is hitting my eye started its journey 2.5 million years ago, in the case of the Andromeda Galaxy for instance, is still pretty amazing to me. Plus being outside and learning the sky is satisfying too.
I'd suggest at least going to check out an outreach in your area, especially when Jupiter is at opposition to the sun (Mid-July) - being able to see Jupiter and some of it's moons is pretty impressive.
With all the said ... the hobby can get pretty expensive and the nights can get long and cold ... so there's that too
