I think there is an important bit of information here...

When choosing an eyepiece or any other piece of gear for that matter there are two different set of criteria involved...

The one side is "scientific" and can be measured...field of view, eye relief, contrast, transmission...etc. Different eyepieces will have different "not disputable" specifications...

The second side is (for lack of a better word) "artistic" and people will use perceptions to fill this criteria...and is strongly correlated to experience and eyepiece time.

I beleive that as people gain more eyepiece time, they begin to have much more appreciation for the "scientific" criteria and through experience begin to see even more with the technically improved gear.

The important thing is that you use what ever gear you have and gain enjoyment from it...a $500 eyepiece unused is worthless...while a $20 chinese generic eyepeice that is used regularly can be priceless.
