I read your Jupiter observing notes with interest Ed, as I too was getting probably my best-ever view also using a barlowed Baader zoom, at around the 240x mark proving the best blend of magnification and clarity. The Baader is probably my most-used EP, followed by an ES 30mm 82°. I have a cheap 6mm Skywatcher, an ES 4.7mm & 11mm 82°, and a 42mm GSO superview, but these tend to take a back seat to the Baader and the 30mm ES. I don't know how you can deal with 20+ eyepieces - that would drive me bonkers. Even having 8 regularly used ones seems a lot, but if you've got 3 scopes I can probably see the reasoning.
