I have a pair of the Baader Mk IV zooms in binos on a TSA120 and my experience is that as eyepieces they are very good indeed. Just a couple of comments though.
The eyepiece is not parfocal through its range from 8 to 24 and indeed requires refocusing between each 4mm stop.
The stops at each 4mm are so subtle that for the most part I cannot detect them and so have to revert to checking that each eyepiece has identical settings on the barrel, this criticism only applies if using two eyepieces. I actually bought my zooms on a trip to the UK but live in Australia so not much chance of returning them for ones with more 'click'
The winged eye guards rotate when changing focal length so are largely unusable.
Having said al that I will not be getting rid of them any time soon.
Hope this helps
