While they certainly look similar to the Radians from outward appearance, having used both the last thing I found them to be was a Radian in disguise! Radians had a host of flaws IMO (finicky eye positioning, lots of lateral color, disfunctional eyeguard mechanism, overly heavy, poor transmission on the early ones, some felt a bit of a warmer tone, only so-so on planetary to my eye). By contrast the DeLites have none of the Radian's shortcomings. Quite an engaging eyepiece to use surprisingly with just a 62 degree AFOV. In my field usage I compared them to my XWs and found they met or exceeded them across all my tests. Quite surprising.
