Maybe, you can add a 10mm for high power, and then use a 2X barlow to yield 7.5mm with the 15 and 5mm with the 10 if you go double star hunting or get exceptionally good seeing for lunar/planetary.

Don .... I have all those focal lengths you mention.....
I tried a Vixen LV50mm in the Scope on the front veranda, looking at trees in the far distance .... I hardly had to move the focuser and the 50 snapped into focus...wide field view filled the whole eyepiece with trees.
Come on clear weather....
