If you Barlowed or Powermated that 8mm eyepiece that you want, then you'd get 320X, which might be okay on some or many nights, depending on where you live. But it might be frustrating too.

I'm now thinking that the 8mm magnification won't be enough. I've got a 9mm plossl and while the better quality, greater AFOV might be great, I guess it won't increase the size of the view.
After reading a few things and getting some responses along the same lines as yours, I'm now thinking of something in the range of 5-7mm. If I can get by without glasses, I'll definitely go the ES 6.7mm. I'd love to get the Vixen LVW 5mm. Then if I hold off, the Delos 6mm at the end of the year would be my ultimate choice. Would you agree that the quality runs in this order?
