Classic UO orthos are under $100, and probably just as good as the HDs. Some people do prefer them over the HDs.

While you say you're happy with the Series 500, I think if you spent some quality time side by side comparing the two, the Ortho would kill it for detail, sharpness and colour.

Anthony, That was Series 5000, right? i.e. Meade 60 deg FOV Plossls. They are nice, with good eye relief. If you like them, a short focal length one in this range would be another one to consider.
