Fair enough Rob. It's just that I cannot pick the brightness difference between them and I've given up trying. I don't own any matching focal lengths so that also makes comparison more difficult. (I used to have a 7mm HD and now the 7mm XW but never both at the same time.)
Do I understand correctly you correctly that the XWs are sharper because they are dimmer? Would that mean in practice that HDs do slightly better on faint fuzzies while XWs do better on planets?
Would be curious to get John B's take on how these two very different lines of fine EPs compare. John, if you're reading this, would you care to comment?
