Once upon a time Meade sold a 5 element eypiece which they called a "super plossl". These were a superior eyepiece to most plossls, but these days "super plossl" is just a meaningless marketing term.

Its also very common practice for house brand eyepieces to be sold by numerous other dealers under different names.
