Hmm, I hadn't really thought much about the 3X -- that's a lot of magnification, but on an f/6 scope I guess that's not such a bad thing, especially if I'm going to invest in new eyepieces. Right now I have 15mm and 9mm GSO Plossls (and a 26mm 2"), so that's 80X and 133X without a Barlow, or 240X and 400X with the 3X.

If I did go the 3X, and then pick up a Televue Plossl as a first new eyepiece, what size would you recommend? Maybe the 20mm? I think that'd be wide enough for a lot of DSOs, and close enough with the Barlow for some planetary work.
