Ok after reading everyones replies I saw the merits of good ER and FOV and decided not to get the Televue plossl or barlow.
However I could not justify, to my wife, the price on a top end EP, Nagler, Pentax etc.
So after reading lots of reviews I went with a 8mm Stratus, which I'll be paying off for quite a few weeks.
I had a chance to try it last night and was very pleased, the FOV was great as Saturn tracked across the view, also split some nice double stars and Omega globular filled the view.
It was also easy to look through.
It may not be as good as a Nagler but as long as I don't ever look through one I won't know the difference.
