Strphen,
If you don't get any offers from anyone closer, you can bring it out to Bretti Reserve when a group of us (from the Central Coast and Sydney) will be there for a few days around May new moon.
(see thread under Star Parties).
You can try our eyepieces in your instrument, and look though our scopes for comparison.
We can even check collimation etc for you.
Or even come down to Pony Club (Mangrove Mountain) for April new moon if you are up for a long drive.
I was looking at saturn myself the other night, (with a 10" SW Dob) and in the end I was using a Nagler 9mm with a 2x barlow.
That was nice, and is about the best you can expect to get , on a good night.
The Nagler has a big FOV for a smallish eyepiece.
But it is costly.
