There is some discussion around the usefulness of orthos in a dob. Detractors don't like the short eye relief of the shorter FLs and especially the narrow field. Keep that in mind. However,
anatomy permitting, the reward for using them anyway is huge. Raw performance at a very good price. I have a set of KKs and Hutechs and use them all the time (incl. the 4mm), and in the exact same telescope as the OP's (well, the GSO version). Interestingly, I've used the 7mm KK on Saturn in outreach several times now and never did anyone complain. It worked fine and people loved the sharp views.
