Now for another EP thread

This is such a broad and variable topic I know, but still thought I would post here to get a feel for things. I have read a lot of posts about this but I am trying to cover 2 scopes and not just 1

First thing first: I am not looking for an expensive single EP to kill all EP's - I am looking for 2 or 3 EP's that are significantly better then the standard 10/25mm plossls that come with Skywatcher scopes.

At the moment the only different EP I have is a 6mm Prostar :http://www.myastroshop.com.au/produc...sp?id=MAS-004I
As to telescopes: Primary will be the 10" F4.7 goto dob, Secondary : 5" F12 goto Mak.

My budget at this time is around the $150-$200 per EP. With that in mind I am looking at Hyperion's, Vixen NLV's, Orion Stratus and ES 82d. More than happy to consider cheaper EP's too if there is something you have or have used which you liked. GSO superviews is one that I have noticed that people seem to like even though they are fairly cheap.

I am not thinking of particular sizes at this time .... apart from covering low/medium/high magnification across the 2 scopes.
I have also been reading a bit about different EP's and their effect on fast/slow scopes. I know that I am potentially being unrealistic at being able to get 2 or 3 EP's that will cover the 2 scopes, but that's why I have posted in the hope that someone has some wisdom to share.

Thoughts/comments/ideas appreciated.
