My usual advice with EPs is use the ones you have for a while until you are more familiar with what their strengths and weaknesses are and how they suit your observing style. Good EPs are expensive and with moderate size dobs it is not unusual to see the EP collection being worth several times more than the scope. When I had my 12" I paid $1k for it but at the end I was using a bunch of Ethos EPs in it!!
