Building the perfect eyepiece set

Since the recent purchases of equipment have brought tonights rain, I've been busy surfing the web trying to pick "the perfect eyepiece set"...

As a place to start, I've assumed no financial limits to getting what I want...(yes, I am truly dreaming)...

There are only two constraints (and they are not binding):

I want to stay with 1.25 inch eyepieces...and as mentioned I am willing to break even this rule...

I want to limit total eyepieces to 5...(no real reason for this either but lets say may home made case will only hold 5)...

In real life I've already got a 2.5 Powermate and an 11 mm Type 6 Nagler...

So, I can pick 4 more...

As a first shot, here goes...

First, I am going to stick with Al and the TV stuff...I'm sure that there are other great manufacturers but I like his stuff...

in no particular order...

24 mm Panoptic
40 mm Plossl
32 mm Plossl
16 mm type 5 Nagler


So, these are my picks...

What do you think? Remember my criteria...
