THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE THAT CAN BE TAKEN FROM THIS THREAD!
When reading reviews, LOOK for reviews that mention the scope you intend to use THAT eyepiece in, and ONLY that focal length.
Do not base an EP purchase on reviews that discuss other focal lengths as there WILL be performance differences between scope designs and focal ratios.
This way you will be able to find and cherry pick those eyepieces that best suit YOUR requirements, YOUR preferences, YOUR scope & YOUR price range, and not someone else's prejudices as those are entirely that other person's own preferences.
And if you can, borrow a mate's eyepiece or two, and see how they perform in your scope. Experience is the best teacher. You may not be looking to buy a similar eyepiece, but the experience you gain will prove invaluable to your own knowledge base, and you'll be able to offer a better balanced opinion on that/those eyepieces for the scope/scopes you've used them in.
