A 5mm will give 240X. Maybe my eyesight is better than most but I regularly push mine to 300x with only very slight blurriness. IMHO, the advantage of having an object larger in the FOV outweighs the very very slight bluriness that results. The same effect is caused by average seeing most of the time anyway. I used to do the same with my 6" dob as well. Im not saying that you will use it at this mag all the time, but I am happy with the views at 300x at least 50% of the time. Getting out to somewhere dark will certainly produce results at this magnification. Again, just my opinion, a lot of factors do contribute to what is seen at the EP.
