The thing to remember is that the biggest single factor in getting clear views, especially of bright objects like planets, is the atmosphere. Higher power not only magnifies the object but also any turbulence or disturbance so really clear images can be fairly rare. So if you are thinking of spending a large amount of money, be sure that it is what you want to do.
I had a 6mm Delos for a while and it is a perfectly nice EP although I actually found the long eye relief a little disconterting and the exit pupil in my old 12" was quite small so you had quite a few blackouts. Cannot comment on the Orion as I have never used one.
