Hi Mel, I'll add that whatever eyepieces you might be looking at - you do not need to go out of your way for special "H alpha-suitable" eyepieces (such as the Coronado Cemax or Lunt's equivalent). If they come with the scope that's fine but otherwise you can just use regular night time EPs with the specs you want (and as suggested by Hugh) and won't miss anything. In fact, the solar scope with its narrow band and FOV of interest and f/7 focal ratio will be a lot more forgiving than the night time one when it comes to oculars - from a design perspective. They still should be of reasonable quality!
Big outlay for double stack version - considering even the single version will impress for some time, especially if you haven't done much in H alpha before. Probably best to wait with the DS module until you better understand the difference it makes and whether that difference is worth the extra cash, to you.
