Next astronomy purchase quandry

Hi all, I am currently split on my next purchase for my telescope (Skywatcher Startravel ST120). As you can see from my list of equipment  I already have quite a few EP's, yet FLO has a good offer on a 5mm Skywatcher SWA 70 degree EP (http://www.firstlightoptics.com/clearance/sky-watcher-swa-70-eyepieces.html ).

However, I was also considering getting a starter imaging camera from Celestron (http://www.firstlightoptics.com/clearance/celestron-neximage-solar-system-imager.html).

 I like the EP as it fits both 2" & 1.25" diagonals which I have, and think the quality of the EP will be much better than the stock 4mm EP I have already, plus with the larger eyepiece lens too will make it much easier to observe through; yet I like the idea of the Celestron camera to fit into a 1.25" diagonal which will allow me to take images through the scope (via a laptop) of the moon & the planets (I know it wont be able to do DSO's at all), and the magnification of the camera will also be similar to the 5mm EP also.

So before I fall on one side of the fence or the other in the next couple of days, perchance anyone has had any experience with these items and give any feedback (pro's & con'S)  to help make that final decision less painful?

Many thanks in advance!

Gus
