Thanks everyone for your input.

I do wear glasses but not for observing (no astigmatism). So thats not too much of an issue. Although I do like a comfortable EP.

I would love to purchase a Pentax 10mm UWA if I would be confident that that planetary detail and contrast would be on par with a dedicated planetary EP such as an ortho. Otherwise I plan to just stick with my Meade and buy a couple of orthos.

I'm just not confident that any EP (even the pentax) can do "everything" perfectly. Eye relief, FOV, Contrast and detail/sharpness. Thats why I'm leaning towards 2 EPs, One with a wide view for DSO etc, and one narrow view (ortho?) planetary ep.

But maybe I'm worrying about things too much....
