The other aspect is what sort of scope... the Vixen eyepieces suit refractors, whereas Televues all are intended for fast newtonians (dobs).
The reason is the field curvature of refractors is convex towards the eye, whereas for newtonians its concave.
In Japan smallish refractors dominate the market, while in the US its mostly big dobs or SCT's.
