I's suggest looking in the 13 mm range and while the Ethos would be the first choice, the 13 mm T6 Nagler (I own) is no slouch either...

I've also got the 16 mm T5 which is one of my favorite eyepieces but for folks that need more eye relief it won't be a good choice...Having said that views are sharp and really enjoyable to me.

Two other eyepieces for consideration...

Pentax 14 mm XW...good eyepiece but shows some field curvature (I did not like it myself native)...however, people say that combining it with a Parracor cleans it up...I've not tried this but appreciate the opinons of those that have.

Denkmeier (spelling) 14 mm eyepieces (these were available from Daniel at Frontier Optics)...a really nice eyepiece (I bino with a pair). It performs on par with the big names but only has a 68 degree AFOV...Eye relief is 20 mm so great for those that wear glasses.

As always, I'll encourage you to get out and look through them all before you buy if you can as your impressions and opinions will likely vary from mine...

Good Luck...
