Dark Moon Monk Build Question

Hey everyone!
I haven't really had a chance to play BG2EE since its release (excluding a few drunk nights with buddies in Multiplayer) but now that I am no longer playing MMOs I figured it is time to get into it.
It has been ages since I played BG2 so most of the story will seem like new to me which has me really excited. Normally, in IE games (or any games with choice) I end up being a goodie goodie fighter or sorcerer and this time I figured I would go WAY different by going with a bad guy. Not only a bad guy but a bad guy dark moon monk! Dun dun dun!!!!
So far I am liking it but never really used the monk before in any D&D game (computer or P&P) and had a question about Detect Illusions. I heard wonderful things about DI and never really used it so I figured since I am going so drastically different why not use it. So I dumped most of points into it without really thinking it over and was curious as to if I would be better off adjusting my stats so that I get my stealth benefits first and then adventuring into DI. Is there much benefit to having it early on or should I BG Keeper it to HiS and MS? Any input would be appreciated!

It acts as some sort of True Sight spell but because it isn't a spell there is no way to block it (with Spell Immunity : Divination for example). Your score in Detect Illusion represents the chances in percent that you will dispell something each round, you must use the Find Trap button to use Detect Illusion.
Good luck with your Dark Moon Monk, I'm going to play one soon, it looks interesting !
The issue with HIS/MS is that they take forever to get to decent levels with a monk. And since they have no backstab they don't get that much out of it.
Find trap is kinda useless with them since they cannot disarm.
Detect illusion is a great skill and should reach 100 in no time (no need to build it higher).
