In short, Telrads are of limited use in light poluted skies.

If you cant afford the barlow yet and really want to spend money, I'd go for a 15mm GSO superview at $69 from Andrews.
It will fill a gap between the 9mm and the 25mm nicely and double for a useful mag for planets should you get a barlow at a later date.

The barlow I think will cost around $150 but its well worth it.
In astro gear, buying cheap inferior crap makes it only more expensive in the end when you buy again to replace it.
