Wasting my time with Televue Radians???

Hello All

I would be very grateful for some input from individuals who have Televue Radians and other eyepieces which they have used for planetary observing.

I have been trying to get a short FL Radian (ideally a 3mm) for a very short FL refractor and thus get some magnification without resorting to barlows etc. I am not having much success in this endeavour and so I am wondering whether it is even worth the trouble hunting for this eyepiece in comparison to other EPs that are available such as a Pentax 3.5XW

To shed a little extra light on this situation the reason I am after the Radian in particular is the 20mm of ER. If anyone has any other suggestions or can vouch for the Radian as a particularly good EP I would certainly be happy to hear your thoughts
