Mike, I recently sold my 5mm UO volcano-top in favor of a 5mm B/TMB. I have the 4, 5, 7 & 9mms in route. This decision was based on both the comfort and the views I've had thru my 6mm (garage sale version). Surrounded by orthos (the recently sold 5mm & a 7mm HD) the 6mm B/TMB is getting the most focuser time. What really tipped the scale was the view I had of M13 from the Table Mountain Star Party. The view was noticeably brighter in the 6mm B/TMB then it was in the 7 HD, despite the increased magnification. I'll give the 7mm HD another chance, head-to-head with the new 7mm B/TMB before I make my final decision. Who knows, maybe I'll keep them both. I'm an eyepiece junkie.
