Just because one eyepiece line may be better for a specific range of criteria than another does not mean it is better overall. There are numerous factors that each of us prefer and do not prefer. So it becomes a very personal decision. As example, optically the DeLite in my 2 Apos and 1 Dob soundly beat my Tak LEs. But there is more than simply optics. I doubt I will be getting rid of my LEs because I love their very small form factor...I can put 4 in one hand! So the many times I just go out for short quick views I prefer the small package of the LEs. Plus I like the LEs for their very high quality build...better than any other Plossl out there for sure. Optically they are certainly very good, but some have light control issues with lunar observing. But even with faults, I still like them a lot because they satisfy other areas for me.
I have never viewed through the 50mm or 30mm or 10mm, but have thru the 24mm, 18mm, 12.5mm, 7.5mm, and 5mm. I think the 7.5mm is my favorite.
