Just to confuse you a bit more, ive heard the Meade 140 barlow is a bit of a dog in comparison to the Celstron Ultima or orion shorty-plus.

Realisticly one doesnt need a multitude of different focal length eyepieces and you will end up using just a few and the rest will collect dust most of the time.

Go for a 2 inch maximum fov eyepiece, and one that gives about 100x for dso viewing, and perhaps two others giving maybe 180x and 250x for viewing planets.
