G'day Wade,

The TV plossls are nice eyepieces. I have a 32mm TV plossl which I only stopped using regularly when I found a good deal on a wide angle 2" eyepiece that gives an even bigger field of view. The 32mm will give you close to as big a field of view as can be had with a 1.25" barrel eyepiece. For this reason I would pick the 32mm over the 25mm.

I found the eyerelief on shorter focal length plossls and orthos (any brand) to be less than I liked. If you find this to be a problem too, and many people do not, then before buying more expensive eyepieces try using longer focal length plossls in a barlow, e.g., a 20mm plossl in a 2x barlow offers almost the same view as a 10mm plossl but with much more eyerelief.

Happy observing with your new eyepieces!
