I used my 8-24mm Baader Hyperion zoom (at 8mm) with a 2x Barlow that I got with my dob on the weekend and the views of Saturn were spectacular.
Moves across the field of view quite fast but I had the nudge down pat by the end of the night. Damn mosquitos nearly bled me dry though.
The cheap plossl eyepieces I got with the dob don't even come close at that magnification. The 15mm and 25mm are clear and sharp without the barlow but Saturn is just too small to really appreciate it.
It's a big step to take buying a good eyepiece (especially the first one) but I don't regret it at all. Not with views like that.
