Low power, wide TFOV Ep's for 12" F5 Dob

Hi everyone, Im after some advice on a low power wide TFOV EP for my scope. I currently have a bintel 2" 32mm 58deg Afov which gives me 47x & 1.2deg TFOV. I love the wide bright views it gives but hate the flock of seagulls flying around the outer 2/3's of the view.!!
I recently tried out the andrews 84deg afov 30mm 2" but wasnt that impressed even though its had some good reviews.
I've just got a 1.25 "neb filter so I've now decided to stick with 1.25' Ep's. Im considering the 24mm Meade s5000 SW or the TV 24mm pan. Both give me 62x & 1.1deg TFOV
Does anyone have any views on these 2 ep's? I'm leaning toward the meade just on price but will pay more if i need to. I hear a lot on this site about the Pentax Ep's Is there a pentax that would give me what i need?
Any comments &/or reccommendations would be appreciated

Simon
