Orion Stratus

Morning all,

After many weeks I'm still agonising over eyepieces. Have finally decided on a 13mm Orion Stratus for DSO's and an 8mm Teleview plossl for planets. Phoned Bintel and the nice bloke there was very helpfull. Does anyone have experience with the Stratus line of eyepieces: contrast,sharpness, off axis performance? Was thinking of Meade series 5000 but they're apparently not terrific off axis. Am on a limited budget; have a 10" f/5 and an 8" f/7.4.

Appreciate your opinions, does this sound like a good idea or am I being a right twizzle.
Cheers
Malcolm
