If the Televues are out (cost) how about the 30mm Vixen NLVW - about half the price and a 65 degree FoV - the field stop is 34.1 mm, and its very sharp edge to edge.
30mm is pretty close to the 26mm SP eyepiece I already have, but I'll keep it in mind for future upgrades.

I've ordered a Bintel 40mm SP eyepiece along with a 2x ED barlow and 12mm Plossl, which will give me the following combinations:
Normal: 40mm, 26mm, 15mm, 12mm, 9mm
1.5x Barlow: 30mm, 17.3mm (2" EPs + barlow element)
2x Barlow: 20mm, 13mm, 7.5mm, 6mm, 4.5mm

That should more than satisfy my immediate needs to learn what works and what doesn't with the scope (and objects.)
