Eyepiece suggestions needed

Hi,

I am looking for eyepieces in the 10-25mm and 30-35mm ranges.

For the 10-25mm range, I found Vixen LVW 13mm/22mm and Orion Stratus 13mm/21mm have very similar specs. They have 65/68 degrees FOV amd 20mm eye reliefs. LVW is $250 and Stratus is $130. How do you guys think about these two? Does their difference in performance justify the price difference?

For the 30-35mm range, I found Vixen LV 30mm and Meade 5000 PL 32mm. Again their FOV and eye reliefs are similar. The Vixen one costs $200 and the Meade one costs $150. Which one do you suggest?

Any inputs are appreciated.

Thanks,
Wei-Hao
