A very first world problem here. If you can afford the 13mm Ethos, get it. It's brilliant.

But if you have not experienced a range of different EPs yet, the wow factor will probably be mostly lost on you. There are also good reasons to have simpler EPs. I'd go with a 12 or 12.5mm orthoscopic with modern coatings (search e.g. "Fujiyama HD ortho") before diving into the ultra- and hyper-wides.

None of the super/ultra/hyper-wides will ever outperform these simpler designs (though some come close). So even when you do "upgrade" to a very expensive very wide FOV EP, you'll still have your high-transmission & high-contrast ortho to tease out every last photon / bit-of-detail should the occasion call for it.
