Um, how am I "clearly wrong"???? Reflectors covers every type of reflecting telescope mentioned. Most curious really

Of course there are some lines that largely perform well in most scope designs. These are very few, and one thing they have in common is they are expensive as these have been specifically designed for this purpose. The Vixen LVW line is one such line. But you will still see performance differences when you swap any of these EPs from one scope to another. In some cases the performance differences are close to imperceptible, and in other cases the performance differences are only a little more pronounced, but there are differences across individual eyepieces when HONESTLY compared in different scope types. When a device like a coma corrector or field flattner is used these variations in performance are greatly reduced or even eliminated. And not everyone finds it mandatory to use a coma corrector or field flattner - this being only for visual use of scopes.

There is no universal one-size-fits-all eyepiece line. Some come close, and there are some individual eyepieces that could be considered "universal", and for some people this is fine. Other people may not be able to afford more exotic eyepieces, and they then need to find what works best for them.

To insist on a universality of a given Brand shows prejudice towards that Brand.
