I have an f5 dob and a 24mm panoptic and the views are A1 if the eye relief is a little shorter than I would like (my other ep's are Pentax).
The 27mm panoptic IMO is made for f5 dobs. Its one of the nicest and most comfortable eyepieces to view through, and much better eye relief than the 24mm. It is however a 2 inch eyepiece but it needs to be in order fit in the greater true fov.
As for any cheaper options like the Meade, I strongly recommend you try before you buy if you cant tolerate 'seaguls'.
