Eyepiece suggestions f/5 newt

Just picked up an 8 inch GSO f/5 ota from Glend. I have been used to using f/6 to f/12 scopes. The idea of spending 100s of dollars for a well corrected 24mm or there abouts eyepiece for widest true field of view, stops me dead in my tracks. Could i just use my two inch ed barlow and pretend i am looking through a C8 again, or get the GSO coma corrector? I have an 84 degree Widescan 3 20mm 1.25 inch eyepiece and a 30mm 80 degree two inch which came from Andrews years ago. Believe it or not, the best view so far for low power was my 32mm plossl.
