I had the 5 and 7.5 LE many years ago and it was nearly impossible to do any lunar observing with them as a large splotch of flare would wash over the FOV and take away all the contrast. Some folks corrected this by making a gasket with an 8mm hole in it and placed that over the field lens. But I recently reacquired the LEs and my current 5 and 7.5 still flare, but it is very minor and of course only on the Moon. Minor enough to not matter. So IMO, given the difference between my old ones and the current ones, I presume Tak addressed this issue at some point. So I guess luck of the draw which you get if you buy used.
