This is what im thinking of getting for my dobsonian. what do u guys think?
My suggestion is to delete the 40mm (useless and no greater field than the 32mm), and the 6.4 and 9.7mm plossls (tight eye relief) and put the $ saved towards buying a good quality 2x barlow enabling higher powers with the 15 and 12mm with much better comfort.

Dont skimp on a cheap barlow, get something decent and it will grow with you if you upgrade eyepieces later.
Yes you can see the difference!
The Orion shorty plus is an excellent value performer.
