Here the result

Ok I now have received the Explore Scientific 24 mm 68 degree EP.
James from VTI Optics was very helpfull and quick.
The ES 24 mm compares very well to my Delos, color looks identical to me and also star image/ sharpness looks similar to what my Delos show.
Center sharpness is spot on and at the edge of the field it gives in slightly like the Delos do.
Transmission seems identical to the Delos.
I tested most of the features on objects in Orion which is quite high in the sky.
The 18 mm eye relieve are just enough to see the entire field with my glasses. Any less and I would not be able to use it with glasses!
Viewing comfort is the same as I have with the adjusted Delos eyecup.
So for me this is like I would expect a 24 mm Delos to be, just in a slightly smaller package, I am happy with it.
I must be said that the 24 mm is the only Explore Scientific 68 degree with such long eye relieve!
