Andrew, I do care about the views and i will gladly pay for it too... but i would feel ripped off if i bought an eyepiece that was double the price for the same or less of an image contrast or quality just purely based on the brand.. you have to remember that the ethos was created and was in production more than a decade ago.. I am sure there are other younger budding enthusiastic opticians besides Al Nagler who are also capable of producing quality optics.. if you read the entire 5 page thread on the stargazerlounge site, you would realize that the APM HDC is equal or even superior to the ethos in terms of visual quality.. and yes, they have also stated that the explore scientifics do not come close to either... So your direct comparison between the es and ethos seems correct.. but want about the lunt/APM vs Ethos? Has anyone tried this down under? Say on the tarantula? Eight burst? Eta carina?
