Plossl Question and Beginner upgrade advice?

Currently I have 10, 17, 25, 40mm plossls.
Im looking at getting the 4 and 6mm Bintel plossls as their quite cheap.
Has anyone tried the Bintel plossls, and what did you think of them?

I've been reading what I can about the Televue Radians, Naglers, Plossls and for the price I think I'll wait a little bit longer till I can justify the benefits they'll have to me. Currently it seems they have sharper views and better AFOV.

Id like a higher magnification for viewing the moon, planets.. but Im also really enjoying hunting and viewing DSO's, clusters and galaxies.

The 40mm and 25mm plossls give me a great AFOV which I enjoy. So I gather the best contenders with better AFOV to replace some plossls will either be a Nagler or Radian.

Being a beginner, I bet this has been asked a hundred times, but I hope some of you can share your thoughts and experience being in this situation, and also those that have some Bintel Plossls what your thoughts were.

Thanks
