I've also heard that a number of people are pleased with the Hyperion/Baader/Stratus (I forget all of the different names)...they are not "wide" wide fields but will be wider than your plossls.

It is a hard call usually when you think about eyepieces you need to remember:
1. wide field
2. budget
3. good to the edge in a fast scope

Pick any 2 you want...

I would encourage to try and get to one of the big star parties before you buy and try some different eyepieces out.

Good Luck,
