I've added a few eyepieces yet again.

APM 30mm UFF
TMB Planetary 11.
Edmunds Optics RKE 6.5 and 28mm

The APM is a well built 2 inch eyepiece. I did not do an extensive viewing with it but enough to get a feel for it. Very flat field. Nice and wide and seems to be free of noticeable distortions or chromatic aberration. It would be great for cruising around type viewing.

The RKE's. I have the 6.5, 15 and 28. The 28 came with a rubber eyecup that so far has defeated me in fitting it! The 28mm was very clear and bright/sharp in the centre but poor offaxis. It seemed sensitive to eye placement but overall for the price it would have its moments.
The 6.5 is very high mag and would be best viewing the moon or planets. The 15mm is quite a clear and detailed image with good transparency. Narrowish FOV though.

The TMB has a 58 degree FOV and I'll be checking it out perhaps tonight.
Its not an expensive lens and I got it off AliExpress but they are also sold on Ebay. About $56

Greg.
