Coupled with these I use a Televue 2x Powermate.

Excellent optics, min fuss.

I am sure the optics on those eyepieces would be second to none
Probably a bit more than I would like to spend at the moment. Maybe looking in the $300-$600 a pop price range.

Good to know you think that Bintel 2" diagonal is good enough for those eyepeices.
Just to confirm is it this one you have?

Do you find any issues with clearance with the 2" eyepieces when the scope if pointing at the zenith?
