Hi Craig,
Great that you're starting to see more detail on Jupiter. A premium eyepiece is a good investment, but often what you'll really notice is that the bigger FOV of something like a Nagler is the bonus. You won't see a huge amount more detail in the centre of the field although it will be better. If your collimation has been with a laser only, you may find you get more improvement in view for your dollar by investing $60 or so in a Cheshire eyepiece if you don't have one. The laser is good for collimating the angle of the primary and secondary mirrors, but not for getting the position of the secondary just right. So if you haven't already done so, get one and have a play.
As someone with a few premium eps, they are well worth the investment when you know what it is that you want in terms of magnifications, field of view and eye relief and your scope is well set up. Having a look through other people's eyepieces is the best bit of research.
