celestron cpc 11" what addons to get?

gday everyone

well i bit the bullet and purchased a Celestron CPC GPS 11" and having just had my first use of it, i found it absolutley fantastic

my question is what other eye pieces / filters are people using with this size of scope. or what do people reccomend

im currently using a 2" diagonal with 32mm 1 1/4" eye piece and was thinking about getting 2" eyepieces instead but not sure of the best sizes. (ie would a 11mm televue be to much mag for saturn viewing?)

how much viewing difference is there between the 2" and 1 1/4"

i am looking at 1 set up for planets and 1 for nebula ect.

i would spend up to $200 per piece.

i dont want to buy heeps of stuff but just a couple of addons to help with the learning process. from all the reading ive done the UHC filter seems to be a great addition to nebula viewing

anyway any assistance would be fantastic
