I was worried that 2.5mm Toe will be too much for my eye(s) with 105mm f/6, but surprisingly it is still quite comfortable to look through, and as you wrote, optically Toe are excellent and fantastic on doubles. I also really like how 5mm Delite works with my small telescope - currently it is my favourite planetary eyepiece.

The Tak EPs are really nice too, but end up being much more expensive to have an equivalent set, my sense is the quality is much the same.
Thank you James for sharing your impressions - I thought of Nagler 2-4mm but I believe those are unavailable any more. I wanted as simple eyepiece as possible below 3.5mm, and 2.5mm Toe seems to present a good balance in terms of optical performance and ease of use. Would be cool though to easily adjust magnification, so perhaps I will try a TV zoom eyepiece one night
