Thanks Allen,
I guess it all depends what one is into. I must admit that when using my Maks nowadays, I tend to go for a 3mm exit pupil. But in my galaxy hunting days of many years ago with my dob, while I really liked my then 3mm exit pupil eyepiece (Meade 14mm Ultrawide) I just kept going back to my 2mm exit pupil eyepiece most of the time (9mm Nagler) - mainly because there a thousands more galaxies than the rest of the DSOs.
Cheers,
Renato
