279USD is a bit too much to swallow just for double stars!!!! I've had my 8" at 100x/inch on small planetaries with results, but that happened exactly twice in the 3 years I had the scope, so paying that much for the 2 and 1.6 would not make sense. I am getting the 5, 7 and 9mm Delites which I'll use with my powermate, should the rare occasion present itself. I do need something around 2.5mm to fill in a big gap.
