I'm currently looking for an inexpensive, but wide field 9-10mm eyepeice
for my 8" dob. Ones I'm considering are the Orion Expanse, the Seiberts
wide field (not the ultra wide field), and the Antares W70. Can anyone
tell me how these compare?

Right now, knowing nothing, I'm leaning towards the 8.7mm Antares W70,
based on specs alone. Would this be a bad choice? If none of these are
good, I'd probably end up with an Orion Sirius or Highlight Plossl. I have
a couple other Sirius plossls and think they are OK.

thanks
