A little too late, but here's 2c worth anyway ....
I also have a Baader 8-24mm Zoom Mk III and Dunk's description of the Baader zoom is on the money.
It does fairly well against ES 82d fixed-length eyepieces, but is not quite as good, except at one focal length (14mm) where I couldn't pick the difference. For a zoom, it's excellent. Unlike the zoom, however, I've never rated the fixed-length Hyperions highly.
I agree you will probably use 2 or 3 fixed eyepieces a lot, and others rarely, so invest in the ones you'll use. (I've found the ES 82d and 68d to be very good performers and excellent value for money in my LX200-ACF 10". IMHO, they're much better than the Hyperions).
