Ironically, I don't have any orthos myself however I have had Delos and do have both Pentax XW and Takahashi LE eyepieces. There is strong debate over Delos v XW and from my experience/eyes I found the XW still to be better.
Now, in side by side comparison between the 5mm XW and Takahashi 5mm LE - The XW does indeed have 'more' eyerelief and a larger field of view.
I found the Takahashi 5mm LE still quite comfortable with about 12mm of ER and only has about 52 fov. However, as far as sharpness, lateral colour etc etc and generally being able to perceive more - it is discernably the better EP
