Steve,

The "myth" that cheap eyepieces do just as well in a slow scope as expensive ones is exactly that "a myth". Simple fact is in an F5 scope the difference between a $500 eyepiece and a $100 eyepiece is from here to the Sun. In an F10 scope the difference between a $500 eyepiece and a $100 eyepiece is from about here to the moon. The difference is certainly not as significant with a slow scope but its still there.
