Some time back I was observing alongside my brother in law who has an 8" Bintel with the standard eyepieces. He called me over to check out the globular cluster 47 Tuc in his 10mm. The view was fine, but then I said let's put in my old 9mm type 1 Nagler to get a slightly wider field. The difference was stunning, not just at the edges but the whole image was brighter, clearer and sharper.
So I recommend you keep on the lookout for some used eyepieces, type 1 9mm are quite cheap when they are sold these days.
