Visual Advice - Eye Pieces

Hi ALL,
I have found the threads about Favourite Eyepieces very interesting. The description of feeling 'immersed' is appealing! I have only done Astrophotography so far.

I have an Esprit 100 set up for imaging. I also have a 2" diagonal. Is the Esprit any good for Visual at 550 FL? If so what would be a really good Eyepiece?

Alternatively (for visual satisfaction) would I be better off taking the Esprit off the EQ6-R and purchasing a Quattro F4 or other F5 Newtonian (for example) and using a great Eyepiece on this (do you also need a Coma corrector for visual). Any recommendations for a scope?

My plan if using another scope for visual would be to mount this on the EQ6-R and use a small scope + camera on the finder bracket to plate solve and goto using ASIAIR.

Thanks for the advice.

SB
