Is it worth?

Hello All
I just got my LX200 8", and I'm very tempted to buy the eyepiece set that Meade is advertising ($650 worth of eyepieces for $100).
Do you know if these eyepieces are good quality ones?
It looks a "too good deal" to me...

Thanks
Alex

I got the ep deal on a recent Meade purchase. They are reasonably good quality Plossls, and make fine general use eyepieces. IMO the 15mm is the best of them, followed by the 12.4mm.
Keep in mind that Meade has probably sold thousands of these 'eyepiece deals'. For US$99, you can't go too wrong.
Like anything, you can get a 'bad' one, but you will be able to get it replaced.
Is it worth it? Yes.
