Hi Hershell , over many years I have owned and liked nearly all of these except the Pentax XW , which everyone agrees is a great eyepiece and if I was in your budget range I would go for the Vixen LVW , it has a great 20mnm eye relief that will be good for being a glasses wearer , is light and easy to look thru and most importantly is a very , very good eyepiece to use as it just dis-appares when using it , I found all Vixens do this really well a nice thing when viewing intricate detail on the planets .
Oh yes personally I like the slight yellowish ? tinge ( that's VERY , VERY SLIGHT ) all the Vixens I have owned over the years , about 20 of them .
Try to get to a viewing night and ask for a look thru as many as possible , we amateur astronomers are friendly people and like showing off our gear ,, well I do anyway .

My 5c worth .

Brian.
