The Orion Stratus are a clone of the Baader Hyperion. I had one (the 8mm) It was OK but nothing spectacular.
I am a Televue user, If I was to recommend an EP it would be the 24mm Panoptic. Lots of fans of the EP in IIS. Nice eye relief, good wide filed at 68deg, pin sharp to the edge and not a great heavy hand grenade.
Will use up a fair chunk of your $300 (in fact all of it as Bintels price is $309)but worth every cent. It spends more time in my scope than any other EP.
Personally I wouldn't rush. The 15 and 26mm that came with your scope will let you see lots, so enjoy using them. Try to get to a viewing night or astro camp and see if you can check out some other eps to see what you like. Then you will get great value for money when time comes to spend the cash.
