I though of changing the 6 & 25mm for a 30mm 2" GSO SuperView. Which would leave me with a 9, 15 & 30mm eye pieces.

What do you think? Would this be a good way to start?
It is not a bad selection at all. But I'd go all GSO Plossls 32, 20, 15, 12mm and a 2x barlow; from GSO either the 2" barlow (ED or non-ED probably matters not) or the long FMC 1.25" 2x barlow. No 3x and no shorties.

Reasons for above choice:

1) The 9mm is still okay, but the barlowed 20 and 15 will be much more comfortable. And the 20mm plossl will be useful for framing larger DSOs too.
2) f/5 is really getting too fast for the 30mm Superview. Way too much seagulling IMO. The 32mm Plossl will have as much or maybe more usable FOV.
