I personally believe that the old (discontinued) Parks Gold Series EP's out-perform the TV Plossls. My Parks 25mm is by far my favourite EP (even comparing it to TV Naglers in similar size). The most I have ever paid for one was $120, new, in the box.
The Takahashi LE series is another fine option, but quite expensive. Or the Celestron Ultima series (same maker as the Parks), or any of the Masuyama clones (Orion Ultrascopics being amongst the more readily available).
I have owned TV Plossls, Panoptics, Radians and Naglers, but no longer have even one, having kept my Parks, Masuyama (real), and Tak LE's (plus a Pentax Zoom that I use for casual Grab N Go nights)
