I'll go out on a limb here. My Zeiss .96" orthos are as good, or better than the average 1.25" eyepiece. I have yet to get a decent side by side, but the preliminary quick peeks with a Takahashi LE 7.5mm and my beloved O-8mm Zeiss give the better view to the Zeiss. Prices are similar to slightly more for the Zeiss, and as has been suggested FOV is slightly narrower with an ortho, than with the LE's plossle design.
Simply put, don't judge the quality by the barrel size, however given the rash of cheap and nasty .96" eyepieces that proliferated earlier, I can understand your thoughts.
