I also agree with Steve. I tend to have a set of eyepieces that give me "half" the theoritical magnification of my scope plus a 2x barlow. The number of times you can actually go near the maximum magnification is simply not worth the expense of a special eyepiece plus the eye relief from these short lenses tends to be very tight. Better to get a set that you will use most nights and a good barlow.

Cheers
