I doubt that zoom would be used anywhere near as much as those three eyepieces. If you do use it, it'll be mainly as an 8mm eyepiece, so why not just buy an 8mm eyepiece?

It's a fun novelty item, with occasional uses where it is handy (e.g when travelling light with my small refractor). And certainly, if you have several telescopes and were wondering what say a 12mm or 17mm eyepiece image would be like in them, it'll give you a good idea before you go and buy that eyepiece.
Cheers,
