I think it would be great if there was a beginners guide with a series of photos that shows how objects look through the eyepiece so people know if what they are seeing is about what they should expect.
A lot of people new to the hobby expect to see something vaguely like the photos they see posted, and are very disappointed as a result.
This video represents about the absolute best viewing of Jupiter I've had through the eyepiece on a 10" scope. It usually isn't this clear.

Often it looks more like this

This is roughly what saturn looks like through the eyepiece with a 8" or 10" scope is average seeing:

For these planets the magnification needs to be anywhere between 120 and 450X (as an example) to see them 'large' in the eyepiece, so you will need a 10mm, 9mm or 8mm (for example) eyepiece to see them like this.
If you get a very clear night then a 6mm eyepiece will give 200X or a 9mm with a 2X barlow will give you 266X
With the 25mm the planets will be tiny.
The moon should look very detailed even with the 25mm.
See if you can find some people in your area, borrow an eyepiece or two, get them to check the collimation and focus etc. of your scope and get a look through some others.
You have a potentially very good scope, find some local enthusiasts to help you get the most out of it, but your expectations my be different to what that scope (or any) can deliver through the eyepiece.
If you are expecting to see colour and more 'hubble-like' images, then perhaps get a look at a mallincam style setup. You can use a small scope like an ED80 on a tracking EQ mount and view images in colour on a small DVD type screen, or on a laptop.
