Paul,
congratulations, welcome to binoview land.
Firstly, and bear in mind I only met you for one weekend, is 55mm close enough for you. (you know what I mean).
Secondly, if you are looking try a pair of any that you can find. I use a pair of old ugly and cheap Celestron Erfles, 20mm and they are simply fantastic. The bino does indeed give an impression of magnification, and it will also depend on whether you are using an OCS or not (I suspect not). Try them on the lunar view and you will be hooked, big time. I have heard that eyepieces can be of a lesser quality when used with a bino viewer. Why? Dunno, but my Celestrons certainly prove this. A star party will be a good time to canvass for duplicate sets and try them. Enjoy.
