Thanks Eric, I now understand a lot more about eyepieces.
At the cheaper end of the market (where I am) it seems that Suppliers keep costs lower by marketing entry level telescopes solely with 1.25" eps.
The option of a wider field of view 2" ep was not even mentioned when I researched purchasing my SW 8" Dob. An in-shop comparison would probably have seen me upgrade. A 30mm 2" cheapie might now be worthwhile.
