OK then ...
When I was a novice, I thought barlows were a good idea.
I bought my first and thought it was so-so.
I sold it and bought a second. It was slightly better, but not as good as I expected.
I sold that and bought a third and it was the best of the three, but now I had shorter f/l eyepieces for direct comparison, I concluded that barlows aren't worth it.
Now I don't use barlows for visual at all.
People new to astronomy are welcome to go through the same expensive learning experience themselves, or perhaps they can take the advice of those who've made the mistakes already ... which is kinda what this forum is for, isn't it?. Their choice, I suppose.
