I finally had a decent chance to try out the new pair of EP's recently (An ES 81 and 30mm 82 degree pair to recap this thread)
Per my first thoughts, it has resulted in the 68 degree Meade being sold, a full night of observing and I was never even tempted to reach for it. The main EP of choice is the ES30mm which works nicely in the scope, no more field curvature than the Meade showed, perhaps a tiny bit of coma towards the edge of the field but very nice and easy to use.
