Don't think of it as 'less suitable'. The scope design the 15mm SuperView is made for may not be a fast Newtonian, but it DOES work very well in one. Just that it is not a perfect optical match, does not mean it is crap. Just be aware of its limitations, which for its price, makes it a gem. A 15mm Plossl may be a closer optical match than the GSO, but it doesn't hold a candle next to it in terms of overall performance and ease of use. Think of it instead as 'best for purpose'

Matt, the Explore Scientific 14mm IS a gem, just priced more like one!
