First time I looked through an Ethos I tried to see the field stop and couldn't. Felt like I'd see my feet before the field stop!

The 100° eyepieces are nice but I feel no need to rush out and buy one. I find 82° is plenty wide enough.

These days my observing is largly restricted to one night a month (at Katoomba or the Pony Club) so I tend to pull an all-nighter. At 3am I prefer the comfort of 20mm eye relief in a Delos or XW
