Surprised you would sell your 10XW as that's one of (if not) the best eyepieces in that focal length. Great throughput, easy to use and pin sharp to the edge. The Ethos will only give you a wider FOV from there, the image isn't otherwise any different. If you're looking for a slap around the face experience from an eyepiece, you're expectations are probably too high from what you have now. The immersive experience from a Nagler or Ethos shouldn't be underestimated though, it just comes at quite a cost.

I'd be checking your telescope optics are in good condition and well collimated, as on a good clear night the XW range are excellent, as are the Delos and Ethos.
