In the end you have to see for yourself. It can be treacherous to spend a lot of money sight unseen. If you don't get to use an eyepiece before buying maybe it's best not to go for a premium priced one straight away? Wouldn't you hate to find out that your $$$ eyepiece performs only slightly better than something a lot cheaper, in your scope and for your eyes?
What John said about the cheap orthos is very true, they have their quirks but are very hard to beat on planets, esp for the price. I've got three KK orthos and love them. They cost me about $70 each, shipped.
Cheers
