So far, very! I haven't had the chance to really put them through their paces at my dark sky site yet, so I've mostly been restricted to planets and bright nebulae in light polluted skies, but I can really see a difference in the level of tiny planet details. And I really like the twist up eye-cups because it allows you to lock in the eye relief distance so you don't have to find the 'sweet spot' by moving your head around. If your eye is at the eyepiece, you're in the right spot automagically - no more kidney beans! Plus, it creates a barrier for stray light which is really handy when doing suburban observing. So yes, very happy!
Even under a light-polluted sky it's tantalising what I can see!! Can't wait for the first DSO hunt!! :-) Trust me to get new gear right at the beginning of winter!! :-)
