At the risk of starting arguments I would be very grateful for some advice as to whether Televue eyepieces are genuinely better.

I raise this question as the Televue eyepiece sale has just begun and I am really tempted to spend. The problem is the spending is always so large with Televue especially when Explore Scientific is now on the scene.

I am very tempted to buy a Televue 26mm Nagler but even with the sale price it is still more than double the price of the Explore Scientific 24mm 82' including shipping from the USA to my front door.

So - the bottom line question is were I to spend all the extra cash for the Televue will I genuinely see major differences/superiority in the Televue???

Putting aside the 2mm difference in the eyepieces would most people spot the differences in the dark when you can't see which eyepiece is in the focuser? Many of the ES eyepiece such as the 24mm 82 attract great praise.
