I use a different eyepiece for low power sweeping. Where the zoom works really well is in the 16-8mm range in my C8. I can dial in the optimum magnification/exit pupil for the object I'm looking at taking into account the brightness of the object and the sky conditions.
My fixed focal length eyepieces in that range are 20mm, 14mm & 11mm (all wide angle). It's amazing how often the optimum magnification falls between 14mm and 11mm in the C8. The zoom lets me pick the sweet spot in between.
On good nights I can zoom right in to 8mm and at 72° AFOV I don't feel any need for a separate wide angle eyepiece.
