I have a 2" diagonal on my CPC 925. I have 2 Baader Morpheus eyepieces (12.5 & 17 both with 1.25 barrel) I have one low-end ocular that came with the scope (40mm Plossl) I own 1 Televue; (Panoptic 41mm) and I want to add one more good eyepiece in the $500-$600 maximum range. I see Ethos 21mm going used in the neighborhood. I of course want to go 2" 

What is the one eyepiece I should own (my preference being deep sky objects) and I am not into photography of any type.

Suggestions?

The 21mm Ethos is a good choice but I'd opt for a 31mm nagler for DSOs with your scope. They're pricey new but can be had for a lot less used. Just my 2 cents on this one.
