Had a few eyepieces to look at over the years AA?
For those lucky enough to own the ones at the top, why bother with the ones at the bottom.

I have the middle of the range Vixen LV 2" 30mm, UO konig 2"32mm, UO Konig 2" 19mm, 2" 42mm GS, 25mm 2" russian 82degree FOV excelent

(probably a 8-9 on your scale). and A TV 2" 2 times barlow
I also have meade 4000 26mm, 15mm 1.25", celestron 40mm, 25mm, 12mm, Vixen LV 25mm and 6mm, 40mm scopetronics eyepieces.
I no longer use the 1.25" eyepieces as I mainly use the 2" ones. the cheap ones are good for public viewing nights so that my good ones don't wear out by looking too much through them!
