Planetary eyepiece around 3mm?
Last night I had great views of Mars in my SV110ED, but with my shortest FL eyepiece (4mm) the magnification topped out at 193x when I could have gone higher.

The next step up would probably be a Nagler 3.5mm but I'm also considering something around 3mm to give 257x. The problem is that there don't seem to be many options at 3mm.

I'd like to maintain the quality of my current eyepieces (TV, Pentax & Explore Scientific) and I'm not convinced about the Orion/William Optics 3mm planetary ep.

Any suggestions?
