I'm still waiting for a finder for the TOA but did manage to locate Jupiter tonight, viewed it up to 200X and the XWs did not disappoint. Then did a comparison between the XW20 and the LVW22. The LVW has a nice flat field, the XW has some FC as often mentioned, but as far as the actual image the XW showed quite a bit more detail whether on the EOF or on axis even allowing for the 10% difference in magnification. I will have to keep both.
My lineup now comprises the XW3.5, 5, 7, 10 & 20 as well as the Delos14 and LVW22 before stepping up the N31T5. ( + some Tak LEs and Pentax XFs for the binoviewers)

I just did the same comparison! I fully agree with you!
While the 22mm LVW was sharper off axis, stars in the 20mm XW were a lot more vibrant and a lot more could be seen as compared to the 22mm LVW. I am going to get myself a 20mm XW to compliment the rest of my set which includes the 10mm 7mm and 5mm XW's.
Cracking eyepieces IMO!
