I think I have seen the owl barlow on ebay - quite cheap, probably better to stay away. I have a meade #140 barlow-which is good, probably go for the ED barlow if you can. I have a meade plossl, and I can say that I'm not that impressed by the view it gives - probably better to spend a bit more - I'm sure you'll enjoy the view.
PS> there is a thread in the eyepiece forum at the moment re: japan ortho e's - I think you'll find the view more pleasing from these ep's, they are sharp & have good contrast.
