For some more thoughts….
Kind of with Astro Bot on this.
Had quite a few of the ES 82's…nice but short on the ER front so sold them.
Had 9 14 and 20 100's... really nice but short on the ER front, which meant I didn't use them after the initial wow factor wore off…so I sold them.
Had and still have the ES 68º really nice. They tick the box on the ER front with the exception of the 16mm, but it's such a beautiful eyepiece it's failings there are forgiven.
After a few years of buying, trying and selling, I stayed with the 68's as they are the easiest to look through... for me.
For the ES line up I'd say get the 34 24 20 and 16 ES 68º add a 1.25" 2x barlow and thats it…covered.
The 16mm is a bit tight on ER, but worth it…. a gem of an eyepiece.
If you really want a 14mm the best is the Denk 14, contrast, flat field…..the only eyepiece I wish I still had, the ES 16mm is quite close, in comparisons I did when I had both, which is why I sold the Denk.
My Newt is an Orion Optics UK 10" f4.8, with an ES coma corrector which gives pinpoint stars to nearly the edge, 98% out.
The problem I had with the 82 and 100's is to see the full field I was having to get close to the glass, give me the 68's any time, way more relaxing.
With a nice scope and focuser and CC, your most of the way there anyway.
