Is it also worth getting a 2” Barlow?

Assuming you are happy with the performance of your 82* ES eyepieces & owning a 30mm ES 82* myself which I love, you might consider either the 24 or 30mm ES.. Works in all my scopes (f5 Newt, f6 refractor & f15 mak).. folk will argue that there is better out there & probably there is but, not in my budget calculations..
Agree with Jeremy, go with 2" for widefield low mag EPs, although having said that... the only other 2" EP I now own is a Meade UWA 20mm (similar to the ES series)... other than that I use Vixen LVWs in 22/17/13mm which are 70* AFOV & technically 2"/1.25" but, the 1.25" barrel still acts as a field stop..
Extremely happy with my Vixen LVW's but, these aren't made anymore so, tough to get hold of...
If your budget is unlimited then, maybe Televues are on your horizon?
