I've been looking at this thread on and off for what seems like forever. I'd like to contribute but I'm not really sure what to say. I have a 10XW. The views are brilliant in my 4", my 12" and every other telescope I've looked through with it.
Every LVW I've looked through gave brilliant views as well. Both are very comfortable to view through, absurdly sharp, excellent light scatter control and have a nice neutral tone. It has been well document that the >14mm XW's don't perform well in fast newtonians due to their lens design and they introduce extra field curvature in the image. A paracorr will fix that up I'm told.
No really issues like noted in the Vixen LVW range, except maybe the 30mm.
I'd recommend people just buy whatever they can afford and whatever is in stock with suppliers.

Can always sell them if you don't like it.

Personally though, I prefer the Delos line myself.
