Quality eyepieces

Okay, I am considering upgrading my eyepieces but, my budget is maybe up to $200 per eyepiece, a little more for the wideview. If I can spend less, I will & I am certainly open to purchasing secondhand. My scopes are 8"SCT & 80mm ED APO (F6)

My current range of eyepieces are listed in my signature; nothing very exotic & to be honest, I know I can get away with less. The 4000 series Plossls came with the SCT. The TMB II is a genuine TMB planetary purchased from VTI Optics a number of years ago. What if any of my current eyepieces are worth keeping?

Looking for a small selection (perhaps around 4 of each) of wideview eyepieces for DSS, etc & eyepieces for planetary & lunar use.

Considering the following:

Planetary (28, 18, 12 & 8mm or thereabouts): Edmund Optic RKE, Fujiyama Orthoscopics, Vixen SLV, Pentax XF & Televue Plossls

Wideview2 (32, 20, 12 & 8mm): ES 82*, Meade UWA for DSS/wideview

Thoughts? Opinions?

Do I need this many?? Not trying to go minimalist.. just looking for quality (on a budget) not necessarily quantity.

I cannot afford Panoptics, Ethos, Delos or Delites.. never gonna happen.
