Recommendations for EPs

Hi all,

I tested my EP collection today in daylight and on terrestrial objects.
I have come to the conclusion that I would like to upgrade my EPs to something of better quality as larger magnifications weren't as sharp as I would like (I'm confident my scope is well collimated).
I have a Bintel 10" (f 4.9) dob.
My collection consists of:
9mm 1.25" GSO Super Plossl
15mm 1.25" GSO Super Plossl
15mm 1.25" Bintel Plossl
20mm 1.25" GSO Super Plossl
40mm 1.25" Bintel plossl
32mm 2" wide angle
2.5x 1.25" Bintel Barlow
2x 1.25" Meade TeleXtender

The EPs came with the purchase of the scope while I have obtained the barlow/telextender afterwards.

Ultimately I'd like to sell the 1.25" EPs and upgrade to some more quality EPs.
I am new to astronomy so I enjoy everything from lunar, solar, planetary to DSOs.
I'd love some recommendations on quality EPs that would be in the 'value for money' range and an improvement on what I already have.

Thanks in advance.

Ryan
