Some time ago in another thread, ausastronomer made these comments that I think are correct and match my own thoughts on eyepiece selection...

"A $50 eyepiece in a $5,000 telescope gives you a $50 view
A $5,000 eyepiece in a $50 telescope gives you a $50 view
A $500 eyepiece in a $5,000 telescope gives you a million $$$$ view
Two things to remember:-
1) An optical system is as bad as the weakest component in it.
2) An optical system is only as good as the weakest component in it." end quote
In my opinion, a few "quality" eyepieces are over time a better value than a whole box full of others...low power, medium power and a high power are sufficient...
Good Luck and Clear Skies!
