Would these go well with my current scope?
I will write the same boring advice that I almost always give people in your situation...

Before you go out and spend any money on new eyepieces, use the ones you have for a while longer to gain some eyepiece time.

Visit an Astro club or contact IIS members neear you and try some before you buy...

Doing this will save you the risk of making an expensive bad choice or two or from buying something that you will grow out of as your experience increases.

Go have a read of the Televue website with particular focus on the article about choosing eyepieces for a small dobsonian...There are many fine makes of quality eyepieces that can suit most any budget.

The trick is matching your likes/dislikes and viewing habits with the right gear.

Cheers,
