Thanks Suavi.

I haven’t looked through a Delite or Delos.
I have had quite a few Televue eyepieces in the past.
19mm Panoptic was a favourite. I had a 13mm Ethos and it was extremely
good but large, heavy and expensive.

It gave a wonderful view of M42 in a TEC180fl.

Second place would be Delos 3.5mm as well as Nagler 13mm, because while Delos is optically magnificent within entire FOV, it is a quite large eyepiece, and Nagler, while very compact and with a generous FOV, optically it seems to lag behind the other two a little bit.

Oh yes, 2.5mm TOE, while optically possibly as perfect as humanly possible, it has a less comfortable eye relief which matters to me during longer observations. Mind you, this is with only 105mm of aperture, so floaters become noticeable too. This particular eypiece is probably better matched with larger apertures than my 105mm.
