Hi Norm. If you are coming up to the Pony Club on Saturday night I will bring my 20T5 for you to try out.
As others have said, the 20T5 will be very similar to the 24 Panoptic in terms of the TFOV it shows, but obviously will provide a more immersive and contrasty view.
With your existing configuration, I would be looking around the 13/14mm focal length if I were you. You might consider the 14mm Explore Scientific 100 degree FOV EP if your budget won't stretch to the 13mm Ethos. As Scott has said, the 13T6 is a great choice as well. No doubt others will chime in about the merits of the 14XW as well.
At my slightly longer focal length scope, I have the 9T6, the 13E, a 20T5 and the 31T5. I am going to get a 2xPowermate so that the 13E can be used as a 6.5mm EP, and the 9T6 can be used as a 4.5mm EP. I think I will be happy to rest with that. At the moment I have a 7mm ortho to hold the fort at the higher mag end, but it is like looking through a straw compared with the other Ep's in my collection.
I suspect the premium range for you might be 21E, 13E and 8E. But then there is the cost of the divorce to consider....
