Glen , what you havent mentioned to us is what eyepieces you already have.
What do you think is missing in those eyepieces or what characteristics need improving on ?

People will choose a nagler for one reason, or a pentax xw, or a panoptic, televue plossl for others, matching up the desired characteristics and budget allowance.

In an sct, most eyepieces should work well as regards edge correction.

Knowing what you really want will help narrow down the field and make the best use of those hard earned dollars.

A general rule might be to make your first premium eyepiece one with around a 2mm exit pupil, which will likely be your most used eyepiece for general dso viewing.
If you can handle 2" eyepieces, the 22mm panoptic is one of the best choices.
