I went through a lot of lesser quality eyepieces but once I discovered high quality it is very hard to go back.

I also feel it is worth having a few high quality eyepieces as opposed to lot's of lesser ones. Or lot's of high quality ones if you can manage it!

With eyepieces a good quality selection will stay with you for life no matter what types of telescopes you may have in the future.

With Televue the prices can seem very high depending on the exchange rate. When they come on the market secondhand they tend to sell very quickly. Even 10 or 15 year old samples can sell for most of what they cost originally depending on the model and the condition. Many of the earlier types are now considered collecters items.

If I had to guess the top 5 order of popularity of the currently available as new eyepieces I would say;

13 Ethos, 24 Panoptic, 13 Nagler t6, 32 Plossl, 20 Plossl. Anyone else hazard a guess?
