Unfortunately, both sound like mass produced and rebadged Chinese EPs. This is not to say that EPs simply made in China are all bad but they can be very hit or miss. If there is one piece of advice that I can offer in astronomy is that it is quality over quantity - it is perhaps better to buy a little bit of quality than a lot of cheaper rubbish.
If you are on a strict budget I would suggest to try and get a quality EP 2nd hand. Ironically, the Televue sale ended last week and that was probably the best time in the past 5 years to have bought a Televue EP to really appreciate the difference. I personally think 1 Radian with a good barlow will give you better long term performance and thus satisfaction from use than 4 or 5 of these EPs you are suggesting put together.
Anyhow, also think about Vixen and possibly Baader as other good alternatives not to mention other cheaper astro gear stores. As much as I like the folks in the Bintel store their primary significance is that they are the sole authorised retailer of Televue products in Australia - after that there is plenty of other cheaper and possibly better competition out there
