Would you recommend the Orion Expanse 6mm eyepiece?

I have a four inch newtonian reflector
I have been looking for a good eyepiece which is not more than $75 and magnifies a bit more than 40x. I want it to be able to show the bands of jupiter with excellence and show deep sky objects and the moon with more detail and better. After reading some, I found the Orion expanse eyepieces, sirius plossl, and highlight plossl, all about the same price range. I found that the expanse eyepiece was the one that looked the best. However I am spectical now after reading a few reviews on it, that it causes ghostly images near bright objects (ghosting) and other things. If this is not a good eyepiece, are there others which are under $75 which fit this scope?
I think that the Sirius Plossl line is the best value for the money. 6mm is rather tight for a 4 inch reflector. Good sizes for your scope are 10 mm, 25 mm, and 40 mm. With these 3, you should be able to get the most out of your small scope.
