Hi David - the key question is what do you want to look at. If it's mainly planets (as with me) then there doesn't appear a lot of point paying lots more to go wide. Better to go for high quality narrow FOV with a narrower price tag. I find for planetary that the University Optics HD orthos (~$125 AU) are hard to beat and they only have a ~40deg FOV. They're nice and contrasty and expect they'd be equally good for small deep sky objects. I've also got a couple of Takhashi LE eyepieces (~$290-300AU) that have more like a Plossl fov (52 deg though for some reason it feels wider); they are brighter and seem to show star colour better than the orthos.
Anyway that's my 2c worth
cheers,
