New Meade Series 5000 "Barlows"

Anyone seen these babies?
Meade are calling them "Tele-Extenders", but they're basically 4-element "super-apochromatic" (my term!) barlows. They sound impressive. They come in 2x, 3x and 5x, plus a 2x 2" model! But they're ridiculously expensive!

Looks like Meade is trying to take on the PowerMates.

You can read all about them here:

I'm tempted by the 2" (get thee behind me Satan!)
