Eye Pieces for Kids (on 80ED)

Hi folks

So I've handed down my 80ED to my kids. It comes with a 28mm LET eyepiece.
This is nice for the moon, and wide targets in darker skies. Tonight we were also able to make out the seperation of the rings from Saturn from the planet proper, and could see a band across Jupiter.

However obviously this isn't an eye piece for these sorts of objects. I'm not going to change the scope, so I'm looking for nice comfortable eye pieces/barlows/powermates/whatever that will increase the magnification of this telescope.

Should we just look for a different eye piece? Or keep this eyepiece and buy a barlow/powermate? Or both?

Cheers
Adam
