Hi Jason
Congrats on the scope! THe thing with eyepieces is that more power is not always a good thing. My old scope was a 12" GSO (essentially the same as yours but more aperture and 1500mm focal length) and when I purchased a 10mm Ethos, which gave 150x, it was only marginally useable. I also had a 6mm Delos and it was even less so.
I found that on most nights 13mm giving 115x was about as far as I could push it. On bright objects the 10mm was OK, Jupiter looked fantastic, but for DSOs it was marginal. Unsteady seeing prevails most of the time and magnification makes that worse.
If it was me, I would look at a 13mm Nagler or Ethos, see how they go and then decide if you need more power.
Cheers
Malcolm
