I'll give you my opinion that is worth exactly what you paid for it...

I'd hold off on buying any new eyepieces for a while and use what you have. For the budget that you are planning I'm not certain that you will see a lot of difference over what you already have except for maybe a slightly wider FOV.

The gear you already have is reasonably and should keep you busy for a while. My recommendation is to hold off spending money for a while.

For me, I'd much prefer having a few top shelf eyepieces instead of a lot of average ones. Same with filters...

There are a lot of active viewers in the Sydney area, I'd encourage you to try and hook up with a few and look through some of their gear. I'm sure some people would even let you try some of their eyepieces in your scope. This will give you get a better feel for the differences in brands and price points and that will help you decide what you like and then you can buy as an informed consumer.

Before long you'll be saving up and can then splash out on a Televue (13 mm Nagler) or Pentax (10 mm XW) as just two examples of the variety of options available.

Clear Skies,
