Generally speaking, I find that good EPs get better with time as I learn how to use them, while bad EPs just get worse as the flaws become more obvious and annoying.

I agree with this statement 100%...there is nothing that can substitute spending some time with an eyepiece in your scope to get a feel for it...Yes, experts can quantify and qualify all kinds of things about an eyepiece but to me it is when I subjectively get a chance to use it that I rationalize to myself the expenditure...
