They're good for the price...it mostly becomes a case of diminishing returns after that. And it'll give a decent magnification for average nights seeing with your scope.

IMO magnification isn't everything...it's about contrast and detail, personally I prefer crispness over blurriness, but it's one of those things that is down to personal taste. If you go higher and all you get is a bigger blurrier image, you've gained nothing. But some nights you can take it higher and see more. You've got a bit of a gap between the 9 and the 6, and on the great nights you should get to use the 6mm for sure, but if I were you I'd probably keep my cash in my pocket and see how it goes before deciding where to go next.
