I have had a 9mm NLV and and a nice eyepiece it is too. But in the end I went for a pair of 18mm orthos in bino's for me. The Vixen was so close to a Pentax XW 10mm that apart from the TFOV there was next to no difference...but the ortho and 2X TV barlow has a slightly more 'live view' even in mono...not sure how to put it! In music terms it's a 'present' sound, more natural.... know what I mean?
The added bonus is you get two eyepieces FL's too. The difference in the AFOV at the eyepiece is probably not worth a consideration....they are both narrow.
Ortho and barlow (has to be a TV barlow) wins ...IMHO
