Ice,
we are all different, but:
I have never wanted/needed a Telrad.
I own an OIII and it gets used very very infrequently.
I have a 30mm widefield 2" made by the Cheap & Nasty eyepiece company. It is OK in the scopes I own (f5 newt and f10 refractor).
I have owned "premium" eyepieces, and have opted for "sets" (in my case a set of Takahashi LE's & Zeiss orthos)
I have a selection of barlows, and for imaging and some viewing these see good service.
So it depends. If an eyepiece my suggestion is try a cheaper model first, maybe to test the water. If the bug gets you, then think the premium, but not until you try the cheaper one first.
Barlows? Maybe same deal. In as much as the imaging is concerned, most agree that the so called premium barlows don't offer much other than price tags. This is from a guy who owns a pair of Powermates though.
I would rather dream without the discretionary cash, as once you have the cash it tends to burn a hole in the pocket huh?
