So I'm about to take the plunge and invest in a SkyWatcher 8" Dobsonian. I was planning to buy the eyepiece set but now I'm not so sure.

The way I read this thread is that money is best spent buying a couple of high quality EPs rather than this set and filters... I'm unlikely to buy much more given the initial upfront expense and a few upcoming projects around the house... And I'm timeshort so I don't drive near the shop very often....

I expect most observing to be done under LP skies with a few trips out to darker skies.. Is it worth the investment? As a beginner I feel it would offer me more flexibility but it sounds like this is at the expense of or instead of some quality... the price i ws quoted was 250ish.
