You could look at the Explore Scientific 68deg 40mm - a very good eyepiece that has been discussed a few times on IIS.

I have the GSO Superview 42mm, the TS Paragon (TMB Paragon clone ... actually, I think it's just re-labelled) 40mm and the ES 68deg 40mm - of these, the ES 40mm is the best, though the Paragon comes close.

The ES 68deg 40mm is a bit more than $200, but worth it IMHO as it's around half the price of a Panoptic 41mm, though about the same size and weight.

If weight is a concern and/or you really can't exceed $200, then the TS Paragon is alright - its around $210-ish delivered and 520g vs around $270-ish delivered and 950g (IIRC) for the ES.
