Would you agree that the quality runs in this order?

I agree with that quality order. Don't forget Pentax XW - pretty much the same quality as Delos (some say slightly better).

The Delos are very expensive. I wouldn't pay full price for one. Either advertise for a used one or wait for Tele Vue to have a sale - happens at least once a year. I got my 14mm Delos on sale.

In fact, I wouldn't pay full price for any of the premium eyepieces unless you've tried one. They all have different ergonomics and sometimes that's the deciding factor between different models/brands.
