Even perhaps a zoom eyepiece would be more useful.
What do you think?

I posted you a Zoom eyepiece (8-24mm) and a TMB 5mm eyepiece, so you can find out for yourself which way to jump.
Play with them for a week or two then shoot them back, you should have a much better idea then of the pros and cons.
Planetary eyepieces tend to be high contrast and have narrow fields of view, which is great when looking at planets, but means they aren't much chop for other uses. See what you think.
