I also have a Radian 6mm, and, a Siebert Star Splitter custom 2mm eyepiece for lunar viewing. My 40mm, 25mm and 10mm Super Plossls are all with my little Tasco scope I've loaned out.
I like TeleVue eyepieces, and as there are price reductions across the entire range, I was considering the Nagler Type 6 13mm or the Panoptic 19mm. Both are popular eyepieces and give about 12mm of Eye Relief and there is not much separating them price wise. These will yield magnifications of 92 x with the Nagler and 63 x with the Panoptic in my SkyWatcher 10" f 1200mm, f ratio 4.72 dob.
Which would be the better middle ground option between my 32mm and 8mm eyepieces?

Armed with those two choices, the 13 mm T6 Nagler is a nice option, in my opinion. I have one and like it a lot. I'd also offer for consideration the 11 mm T6 similar to the 13 but will give you a touch more magnification. The Pentax 10 mm XW is also a good eyepiece.
