Hi Carl

Quality eyepieces will improve the view in that scope but you may not notice much difference till you buy eyepieces in the $300-$600 bracket. Don't expect much better views with eyepieces of any quality at shorter Focal length than 10mm with that scope. It just doesn't collect enough light. In fact deep sky objects may look even better with a cheap 40 mm eyepiece.

If you have that kind of money to invest you could get up to a 10" dobsonian and use your existing eyepieces. The difference here will be phenomial with the increased light gathering even with the cheap eyepieces. Of course expensive eyepieces will give an improvement also.
