The short focal length eyepieces I have used have very little eye relief which makes them uncomfortable to use. For high power, I would stay away from the kellner design (Explorer II) because they have a very short eye relief compared to a plossl. A few people don`t like the plossl design, but most of us seem to use them and like them just fine. It is a well corrected design which is relatively easy and inexpensive to make well. Orthoscopic eyepieces also have good eye relief and are good eyepieces when well made, but they are a little harder to make as well as a plossl. This makes them a bit more expensive to make well.
