I've had three barlows for visual, and got rid of them all. In my experience, they caused loss of contrast and made finding the best focus more difficult (the focal point was more "dispersed"). I now use shorter focal length eyepieces, which "snap" to focus, and enjoy a higher quality view.

I recently acquired a Powermate but that's only for planetary photography.
