If I could use a wine analogy for anyone that knows and has opportunity to try several Penfolds Granges. There are quite a few other Shiraz wines out there at 50% or even 25% of the price which are far far superior. It is just that Penfolds Grange has the Market Awareness and is Artificially priced to appeal to many that think high price wine means good wine.

Agree that they may be somewhat over hyped, however they are a fine eyepiece. I have three of these 15mm, 25 and 35. I feel they are at their best in showing colour contrast e.g. Jupiter belts and red spot, colourful stars. Very clean look with minimal flare. Their edge performance is good, but not spectacular. I also tend to gravitate to my Naglers but really enjoy the planet views in the 15mm masuyama and C11.
