Just that eye releif will be extremely tight. These have similar characteristics to standard plossls, though this is a high quality one.

I've used louie's one of these, and the eye lens is so small, and ER so tight, that it just wasn't comfortable for me to use.

well if its anything like the 7.5mm it'll be outstanding. I recon my new EP is gunna be great when more plantet come up. I tried it on venus last night... 100% better than GSOs i might do a review for the site when i get to doing more testing. venus looked like bird picture, i swear. well almost. ended up going for $47 AU. good price methinks.

one thing thats lacking on my 7.5 is n eyecup. its great on doubles (the pavo glob double easily split), planets and globs... looking forward to more use of this EP :D
