Some eyepieces with a metal eye-stop will scratch ones spectacles while trying to observe the entire field: big problem!
The Delos design is a compromise between an eyepiece with a super wide field and a narrower field eyepiece with a large eye relief.

I am starting to enjoy the Delos range of Televue eyepieces as well. I still use Ethos but there is something with the Delos eyepieces that make them enjoyable and found them really sharp.
