The main reason I recommended using the ones you have is they will give you a point of comparison for when or if you think about getting more. You will find that the 25mm is not a bad EP, reasonable field and eye relief. The 10mm on the other hand will have a very small field, a small exit pupil and not much eye relief making it much harder to use. So if you decide to get a 6mm, unless you go for a premium EP (like a Delos!) you will get higher power but the things that make an EP difficult to use will be even more in evidence.
Higher power viewing requires better conditions and the more power the less you can use it.
Not saying don't buy more EPs, just be aware that each purchase is going to involve some trade offs!
