Probably because many newt owners want the bigger, badder 21mm version, and the 13mm and don't see where the 17 fits in. It's underrated. I appreciate the "symmetry" of it having half the field area, and being parfocal with, the 31T5 (which I don't yet own ). What a combination

For me, the 17mm works great with my C11 for about 165x, so on the not-so-great nights it's a workhorse for planetary and globs. Amongst many others, Omega Centauri is just spectacular in it
