Good points. The eyepieces are Mead Modified Acromats.

I have one Meade MA in a .965 format for a 3" Tasco reflector. Seems to work OK but that is a F 9 reflector. Good views of the moon and Saturn.

S&T did a review of the Infinity 90 mm which has the same eyepieces. While they were not impressed with the barlow, no knocks on the eyepieces. But that is a 600 mm F6.7 as compared to the 400 F5 of the 80 mm scope.

In the 70 mm they should be fine as starter eyepieces even if the barlow falls short.
