High power planetary/DSO - Orion or Burgess?

Hi,
I am a newbie and looking for a high power, good quality eyepiece for a planetary/deep space object viewing for less than 100$
After some research I found one from Orion:

3.5mm Orion Stratus Wide-Field Eyepiece, FOV:68°, ER: 20mm, mag: 341x, $95

But then I found online some enthusiastic reviews about Burgess Planetary series:

4mm Burgess/TMB Planetary Series, FOV:60°, ER: 16 mm, mag: 298x, $99

Although numbers look more tempting in first case, I know that somtimes they aren't everything. Do any of you have one of these? Can you advise me which one to choose?

And another thing - the theoretical maximum magnification of my newly built scope is 400x. Is 341 x (in case of Orion eyepiece) in a 'safe limit'?

Thanks

Hi Marcin; I have a 6mm Stratus and a 6mm TMB/Burgess they both work very well but I just ordered a 4mm TMB/Burgess because just a week or to ago I had a problem with the 6mm Burgess I call them up and Bill Burgess told me to just sent it to him and he would fix it and sent it back to me at no charge, so any one who give that kind of service get my vote.

While 341x is probably OK for your scope, it may or may not be OK for your typical atmospheric conditions. Many locations don't have steady enough skies very often to support magnifications of over 300x. I'd make sure that you have a good eyepiece in the 200-250x range first if you don't already. This is will be useable on a regular basis and still give good planetary views.
