Not that I do a huge amount of visual but there's no doubt that the better the eyepiece the better the view, all other things being equal.
I have a 12" dob and a range of pretty low grade eyepieces - the views are okay. But recently I looked through a 17mm Nagler or Televue or something - the difference (under dark skies) was staggering. Mind you, that's an $800 piece of gear!
I reckon find a club near you, check out what eyepieces others are using and start saving towards one really good mid-range piece. It's too easy to throw little bits of money at cheap kit that doesn't do much more than clutter the cupboards.
Tax return time is always when I plan a decent purchase and it's coming up soon!
cheers
