Sounds like the ortho's the go with the extra eye relief. As I will be viewing doubles the FOV is not too important. I specifically want plossl or ortho coz they are 4 element eyepieces and I want the highest definition and contrast. The 6mm LV is 6 elements ( I think) and using a barlow will add more glass to the optical path.
