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.

You mean a Pentax XW?
You are right in that no one eyepiece is perfect in every respect, but the 10mm XW is pretty damn near it and has many votes as being the single best wide-field eyepiece available. Every bit as sharp as an ortho and with contrast unmatched by any other wide-field.

Certainly looks that way!
