Need advice on a zoom eyepiece

Hi,

I have an out of production Orion 500mm short tube telescope (ED glass, 80mm ap) that I use for spotting and astronomy. I have an image rectifying 45deg and use it terrestrially mainly with my 26mm EP, getting wonderful crisp images. I want to buy a zoom eyepiece and am considering the TV or Vixen 8-24mm. I am unfamiliar with the spotting scope market and I am wondering if there are other zoom EPs meant for spotting scopes that will fit my standard 1.25" EP mount.

Thanks - Sal
