Hey Tim,
I am in a fairly similar position to you.
I have had my 12" truss skywatcher dob. for a couple of weeks and have enjoyed some nice views of Saturn with four of its moon's and the Orion Nebula.
I am thinking along the lines of Paddy's advice. That is to get as much viewing in over the next couple of months or so with the supplied ep's and then investing in a good quality ep and 2x barlow.
I am personally leaning towards an 11mm or 13mm Televue Nagler and televue barlow as my first purchase. I know that is more than you want to spend but my way of thinking is make the purchase once and it may save you money down the track.
What's that saying 'quality lasts long after the price is forgotten'.
Anyway they are my thoughts. Hope the skies clear.
cheers Brad.
