Steve yes in all that is true , but my 27mm 2inch Panoptic is much better than both my 25 and 32mm TV plossls , as good as these both are the Pan is a nicer eyepiece to use in all my scopes that take 2 inch accessories .
But that being said ... my 31mm Celestron Axiom 82* is the bees knees when it comes to 2 inch eyepieces , ( 98% of the TV 31mm T5 telemangler for 1/2 the price ),
keep your eyes out for one of these 2nd hand even tho they don't come up very often , for good reasons .
Brian.

What a 2" barrel allows you to do is to use a broader range of eyepieces: ones with longer focal lenghts = lower magnifications, and/or with wider true fields of view. Basically, you can fit more sky into a 2" barrel than a 1.25" barrel.
Can you tell us more about your scope?
