eyepieces for poor conditions

I live somewhere where the seeing is almost always pretty terrible, but all the same I want to get a high power eyepiece, say a 5 or 6mm plossl for my 8" dob.

The question is this: in poor seeing conditions, is a high quality eyepiece still better than a cheap one, or do bad conditions bring all eyepieces down to the same level?

I'm thinking of a Vixen LV, just because I like the 10mm one I already have. But if it would be wasted, I would rather save the money for the wide angle eyepiece fund and get a cheapo GSO one
