Pentax xw5mm or Morpheus 6.5mm

Hey,
I have a 12 inch dobsonian and am looking to upgrade to a good high power eyepiece.

All I have for now is a 2x barlowed 17mm Hyperion or the 10mm plossl 2x barlowed that came with the scope.
I'm not looking at a televue.
I am however looking at the Pentax xw 5mm or the Baader morpheus 6.5mm.

The Pentax would be nice but is more expensive. The Morpheus would be nice but at 6.5mm is close to my 2x barlowed 17mm Hyperion. The Morpheus barlowed would be 3.25mm but is 460 odd power just too unrealistic.

I do have access to a dark sky from time to time though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Either one is a lot of cash for me so I don't want to mess this up.
If anyone has a second hand one of these up for grabs, please let me know.
Cheers.
