Forget shelling out for expensive eyepieces. IMHO there are many excellent bargains to be had if you have the guts to "thrash and trash" - try what's out there, keep the good ones and onsell the not-so-good ones. I'll also admit to putting a few in the bin, I wouldn't even give them to my son to pull apart.
For example I bought a Prostar 2" 38mm 70-degree for a whole whopping $59... which is excellent in my refractors at f/7. Tack sharp, to the edge.
1/8 the cost of a Masuyama and a perfect low power eyepiece.
