Andrew,
I have only used this eyepiece, or at least it's twin brother the 30mm 1rpd once in an F5 scope and that was for about 30 seconds. That was how long it took me to figure out the eyepiece was completely useless when combined with such a fast F-Ratio telescope.
There aren't any supercheap solutions at F5, if you want a wide field of view with decent edge performance. It just doesn't happen.
I think your best option is probably the 30mm Orion Stratus but it's a lot more money at about $380. The options go up from there. The eyepieces get better and cost more money.
