Geeee, I think the first telescope I build only cost me (6” f8) 25 gbp.
Thinking about spending >$150 for an eyepiece just doesn’t seem to make sense to me.....sorry.
You will find that your 25GBP is worth well over $200 in today's dollars. Considering a new 6" f8 is $400 to $450 at present then spending $150 for a quality eyepiece is reasonable. I highly recommend a used 6mm Radian if you can pick one up. The comfort factor of the 20mm eye relief is very easy on the eye and the image quality superb.
