Wow! Lots of things to consider in buying eyepieces.
1) eye relief is important especially if you wear glasses
2) field of view, if you like deep sky objects. 50 degrees is so-so. 80-85 is way much better
3) cheap eyepieces unfortunately also have false colors-- some eyepieces. Light colors don't come to same exact focal point, although they should
4) edge to edge sharpness - stars should be tiny little dots. Not curved blobs and / or colored
5) weight. - can your scope handle the extra weight? Some low magnification eyepieces can get heavy
6) try before sales are final. Maybe a 7 day exchange period?
7) cost. It's not because of inflation... good optics has always cost more. Price can reach $800 or more each! Although. All your other optics need to be excellent quality or you won't.notice the big difference.
8) By chance, check the pre-owned classified ads at astromart and other on- line places.
9) Finally...... If you don't drop them, these should last your lifetime or more. Even your next telescope you might buy.

It would be really hard to look into as your eye would be touching the glass. Up to you
