I would agree with Steve on this. I own 5 Pentax XW's and a 27mm TV Panoptic for use in my 10"/F5 newt. The 10mm Pentax XW owns at least 50% of focuser time. More than the other 5 premium eyepieces combined. While it doesn't give enough power for lunar/planetary observation it is the perfect DSO eyepiece in a 10"/F5 newtonian. It creates a 2mm exit pupil which is perfect for DSO work.
The 10mm Pentax XW is arguably the best general purpose eyepiece money can buy at the moment. It represents the pinnacle of current eyepiece design and technology currently available. It gets no better !!. Unfortunately not cheap but you get what you pay for.
