I would second Astropolak's comments about this eyepiece...in my scope it looked pretty good to me and not nearly as bad as the experience others seem to have had with it in their scopes....but as they say YMMV (your mileage may vary)
After hearing Joe's comments on the night about other people's experiences I then went and read the review on CN. Based on my brief look in my scope I thought Tom Trusock represented what I saw...(in my own technical terms) a decent wide field eyepiece.
Although I did not spend a lot of time with the eyepiece, I did not see anything other than the pure size and weight that I found truly objectionable.
With respect to size and weight it was heavy and did unbalance my scope...easy enough to fix if I was so inclined.
Were I interested in having an eyepiece of that magnification...based on my look through of that eyepiece in my scope (on that night) and the "few" looks I have had through other people's scopes and 31 MM Terminaglers I don't recall a great deal of differences...heretical I hear you say...maybe so.
Just another reason to "try before you buy" if you can...
