Thanks for all the suggestions - very helpful!
I am leaning towards the Radians or Hyperions only because they can cover the focal length range I am after. If only the Pentax XF had more focal lengths to choose from - these get excellent write-ups.
I prefer not to use a powermate or barlow just so there is less bits to insert (and miss and drop!) into the diagonal when it is dark. Although I hadn't considered the Panoptics before. I guess you can just leave the powermate in place and then switch panoptic eyepieces. Hmmm.
I did more reading today and unearthed even more possibilities. The Pentax XW range gets good right ups, but are expensive as do the Vixen NLVs.
Perhaps I should just buy one of each and sell the ones I don't like!?
Lastly, I am really looking for good quality eyepieces that can be used by novices. My son and his mates are keen to get together for a astronomy night, so I need the easiest most comfortable eyepieces to use (ie don't need a pupil guide, no kidney beaning, blackouts etc).
