+1 for Ba'ader.
James, I find the Ba'aders are a good reasonable priced EP with many redeeming features, the eye-relief, the screw fitting, the 1.25" adaptor. I wear glasses but only whilst driving or watching movies/tv so I usually view through the Ba'aders sans glasses and then let others play with the focus if they need to. I tend to have the eye-relief cup folded down. They may not be the absolute best but for around the $200 mark currently at Andrews Comms they are a good deal IMHO.
On the recent Mudgee Star Party trip I pretty much used the 3.5mm constantly (though admittedly I was trying to look for faint fuzzies) and then when switching to the 24mm for a look at some of the big globular/open clusters it was made easy by them all being 2".
(As you can see by my signature, I like the Ba'aders)
HTH,
Simon
