It's raining so I'm not going out just yet to try brick counting.
Daniel I bought a 6mm plossl from AG shop. As for the Heritage I love it and will keep it when I eventually upgrade. So quick and easy to just pick up and take outside. But you must remember this is my first scope.

My son has the same 25 & 10 that came with his ST80. They are very light and I wouldn't be surprised if the lenses are plastic. The 6mm looks like a Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl, a quality eyepiece. However it was available in 6.4mm NOT 6mm.
If you have a 6.4mm eyepiece then your image will appear 10/6.4 = 1.56x bigger and this still should be noticeable. The apparent field of the 4000 series is 52 degrees, a touch wider than the standard Plossl.
