Since I am spending other people's money, I might as well enjoy telling you where I have come on this journey. Having really enjoyed splendid views with some pretty nice 2" EPs, and the fairly hefty 10 mm Pentax XW (excellent eyepiece, that), I am now honing a special collection of excellent, light 1.25" EPs just for use with my 80mm (FL 555) using a smaller diagonal, as an ultralight grab and go scope.
Namely, a 24 Panoptic, a 3-6 Televue Zoom, and either a 9 or 11 mm Nagler. (I have the first two, but I'm still tossing up about the third.)
Merry Christmas.
Brian.
