Matt,
Phil Harrington's review was on a few selected targets only as he had a dozen filters to compare on the same targets.
On a large sample of targets it ISN'T a better filter than either of the Astronomiks filters, but it is certainly very good and right up there. That of course is a very subjective call and based entirely on my own personal observing preferences. Not everyone is looking for the filter to enhance exactly the same thing on a given target.
The prices have gone up dramatically. It cost me $AUS 150 for the 2" DGM NPB landed in Australia, at that price it was great deal.
You will be very happy with it, you can take that to the Bank
