When showing my wife some globulars with a Nagler t6 I once had she said" so you payed hundreds extra to see a bit more black around it" I laughed a bit sheepishly  I now have more modest eyepieces and I'm quite happy with 60 degree fields. 
Anyway I find the Orion combination cheshire/sight tube very good and I think the Celestron one the same but a bit cheaper. My laser makes a very good cat toy and he goes beserk running around after the dot.

I'm like that.
if someone posts a picture I go straight to the 4 corners and start pixel peeping.
Can I find any out of round stars or stars with comet tails on them?
I've looked through Carl Zeiss eyepieces and there was a large difference
compared to ordinary eyepieces especially when looking at planets.
Even when looking at Orion - you could see more nebulosity.
cheers
