Hi there from the north side of the planet.
I was thinking of zoom eyepieces myself recently, and I only came across one review of zoom eyepieces here:

I think for anyone staring off zooms are a good idea, a good collection fast, though Chris is right, FOV can get narrow, then again, a Plossl only has a 52 degree FOV.
Good luck with your search Jazza11.
