I currently own 2 ES eyepieces (16 and 28mm), as well as a 24 Pan. Going by the physical and optical quality of the 2 ES units using the TV as a bench mark, I have no reason to believe that the 24mm version of the ES 68° will be anything other than a great eyepiece.
Increasing the power on DSOs can help reduce the effects of LP somewhat by making the background sky darker. But there is no substitute for a dark site. Having said that, the more prominent DSOs are still worthwhile targets even from suburban skies, IMHO.
