Ok, i've pretty much decided on what my short focal length eyepieces are, or will be.

I've got the Vixen 22mm LVW coming in the next week or two. I've got a gap to fill between the 14mm Meade s4000 UWA and the Vixen 22mm LVW, and a gap (or two) to fill in the "above 22mm" focal length range.

My requirements:
- I'm using a 10" f/5 dob
- I'm quite critical of sharp across the field
- 82° FOV isn't super important, but I'd prefer a wider field (ie: plossls won't make the short list). So above 65° TFOV is preferred.

For the first gap, I'm thinking of something in the 17-18mm focal length. Any recommendations?

For the second gap, i'm thinking around the 25-27mm focal length. The 27mm Panoptic springs to mind immediately. I've used Louie's in my scope before and though it was very nice, but it was quite a while ago. I'd need to familiarise myself with it again before buying it, as I was disappointed with the 22mm Pano in my scope (but LOVE it in Rod's). What others would make my short list in that focal length?

For the last gap, i'm thinking something above 30mm+. The 31mm Nagler would be nice, but there's zero chance i'm spending $950+ on a single eyepiece. 35mm Pano? What else?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
