Well, my thoughts are that, compared to 100° eyepieces, you will get 95% of the enjoyment from 82° eyepieces and 90% of the enjoyment from 68° eyepieces. Personally, I can't see the edges of an 82° field of view in one go, anyway, so that's wider than I need.
If you have any budget limitations at all (which, apparently you do) then you'll save a lot of money from going with, say:
ES 28mm 68°
ES 18mm 82°
ES 8.8mm 82°
... or even more eyepieces while still saving a little money:
ES 28mm 68°
ES 20mm 68°
ES 16mm 68°
ES 11mm 82°
ES 8.8mm 82°
The ES 82° and 68° eyepieces are also smaller and lighter than 100° eyepieces. ES eyepieces are either Argon or Nitrogen purged to make them moisture-proof.
Food for thought.
