I've got Pentax 30 and 10 XW's.....very nice, love em, not too wide, great eye relief and adjustable eye cups, highly recommended....But, have a look through some EP's first...diff brands, AFOV, focal lengths etc etc. The 30mm XW 2inch is HUGE and balance is an issue at some lower altitudes with my dob...would be the same as the Pan 27....I looked at both originally and like the XW better for light throughput...flat field and eye relief.
