Fox,
It won't be quite as good as you think, because it may turn you off a perfectly good night time astronomical eyepiece. Panoptics are not a great choice for daytime use. I alluded to this in my previous post. The Panoptics, some focal lengths moreso than others, suffer pincushion distortion which is a type of rectilinear distortion. This distortion will cause straight lines (like the edge of buildings or the waterline of a ship) to bend. It is not an issue for astronomical viewing and this aberration is left in the eyepiece design to increase the sharpness of stars near the edge of field when used in fast F-Ratio telescopes.
Consequently if you use the eyepiece in the daytime ignore the distortion, because you don't see it at night except when you are panning the sky, which isn't a concern for me as it is not intrusive under these conditions.
