Compared to the Televue (I owned a Vixen 8-24mm), the Baader and Lunt should be a lot sharper in the short focal lengths. The Baader has a bit less eye relief than the Televue and the Lunt has a little less again.
If the zoom will be used at night the Baader is my preference due to it's larger FOV. For solar or planets where the FOV doesn't matter the Lunt very good.
