12mm to 14mm eyepieces for binoviewing

Hi all. I previously asked about 14mm to 17mm eyepieces but after extensive experimentation with single eyepieces I've adjusted the desired focal length range for binoviewing. Now I'm looking for 12mm to 14mm eyepieces for general purpose binoviewing (relatively small and light eyepieces). Want excellent contrast and all-around excellent performance. Not looking for UW fields but 60+ degree. Looking for impressions, suggestions about the 14mm denk, 13mm T6 nagler, and 12mm Pentax XF (or any others folks want to suggest). I'm primarily into planetary and lunar but really don't want to give up the contrast/transmission needed for faint DSO. The scope is a 140mm F/7 APO. Thanks.

Tom.
