I modified my dob so that it can be used with a pair of WO cheapies without a barlow. They have a short (4") optical path so were easy to accommodate.
The moon and planets look stunning through them and they are very good for outreach I find, but ultimately, they have become one of the very least used accessories that I have - probably because my local seeing doesn't warrant much solar system viewing. I still may upgrade them one day, but that short optical path narrows the field somewhat!
Very handy for testing eyepieces side by side though - I can get a much, much better comparison of performance by swapping from left to right eye than by changing over eyepieces. Something seems to get lost in that short period of swapping over that doesn't using a binoviewer, those subtle differences and distortions really stand out.
