Hi, I'd suggest to also have a look at the TMB Planetary eyepiece range. They are reatively inexpensive
I just got the 6mm (current model, not the Mark 1), and I'm most impressed with its eyerelief, field of view (60 degrees), a incredibly good image quality. I've used it on an 8" f/4 scope (133X), and on a 13.1 f/4.5 scope (250X). Both scopes gave beautiful images with this eyepiece.
Compared to the Meade Series 5000 Plossl 5.5mm I have, the TMB blows it away. Wider field of view, way longer eyerelief, and sharper image. Cheaper too.
Just for fun, we barlowed the eyepiece to the 13.1" on a high-rise building red beacon light about 600m away, you could not only make out the screws holding the cowing in place, but the orientation of the screws.
