>I guess that each of us just has to buy a set of eyepieces and find out for themselves whether they are good or not? <
Eyepiece choice is very personal and depends on the type of scope, speed of scope, preference of observer, ability of eye to adapt to kidney bean and field curvature, etc.
Case in point: Widescans suck in f/5 newtonian reflectors (edge of field breaks down w/ astigmatism @ 30ish degrees) but are almost magic in an f/10 achro refractor. To my eye.
