Buying first Eyepiece for 8'' Dobsonian

Hi

I bought an 8'' dobsonian like 10 years ago, and now i am starting to use it again and considering spending a bit of money in Astronomy

I currently have a 2'' Bintel SP 26mm and Bintel 15, 9 and 6 mm plossl eyepieces that came with the scope

I mostly use the SP26 mm and the 15 when i want a bit of magnification. i cannot stand the 9 and 6 mm, because of the narrow field of view and very short eye relief.

I was thinking on spending up to 400 dollars on a good 10 to 15 mm eyepiece with good eye relief and wider field of view and a 2x Barlow lens to combine it with it

Are the Bintel BINTEL Premium Long Eye Relief Eyepiece any good, or a Baader Morpheus will be much better ?

Is there any good 2x Barlow under 200 that can recommend

thanks in advance

Zeke
