Well done Jason those are lovely scopes.
The 25mm plossl that comes with these scopes is usually not a bad piece of kit, nothing special but not bad. Cheap shorter length EPs tend to be just that, cheap and hard to use. My 12" came with 5 EPs, really I only used the 32mm and 25mm. I had an 8" dob for about 6months that had a 25mm and a 10mm, I could count on one hand the number of times I used the 10mm.
Don't get sucked into getting one of those eyepiece kits, you'll probably find the shorter EPs in the kit will just stay in the box anyway.
Keep an ear to the ground if any TV Panoptics or Naglers come up, IMHO a nag of 12/13mm or a Pan at 19 or 24mm are great EPs. Otherwise save up for them, you won't regret the $$$ spent!
