I think most who have used their GS dobs with decent eyepieces would agree that the s500 really lets the scope down and prevents it from displaying its true potential.
There is no reason why an observer cant be satisfied with decent plossls for the rest of their observing life as the sharpness of view and contrast can near enough equal anything on the market. Its when people want quality wide views or extra eye relief at short focal lengths that eyepieces become expensive.

Buying poor quality just costs extra in the long run when you replace it.
