I only have three EP's with my SE 6 f/10

They are 25mm 9mm 6mm and the barlow X2

This gives me 60/120 166/333 250

As I can only buy new EP's every now and then what size mm would you suggest that I buy next, the reason I ask is because every $ counts and I dont want to make a rookie mistake and buy an ep that would not be appropriate for my telescope.

I was thinking if a zoom but after reading comments and doing a little research I feel this is not the way to go, a stand alone ep will, or should, give a slightly better image over a zoom.

Although I am new to astronomy I believe I will be doing more plantary viewing over DSO, at least to start with that is.
