Looking to upgrade my Stock Diagonal

I own a Meade LX-90 8" SCT and am looking to upgrade my stock diagonal. Being that whatever I get must be small enough to let the SCT get to the zenith and of course it has to be a 2" with a 1.25" adapter. Any input with this decision would be helpful. Before I get any expensive eyepieces I think an upgrade to a better diagonal would be the way to go. Thanks people :-)

The Meade 2" with UHTC is a good choice for the money. Also the Williams Optics is a good one for the price.

The best way to go might be to get a 2" SCT visual back adapter from Astro-Physics ($40) and then get their 2" Maxbright diagonal ($290). It's a much better diagonal than anything Meade offers and is built better than the Tele Vue Everbright. It's a bit pricy, but then you'll never have to worry about a diagonal bringing down your image quality...
