Which to keep? Meade 8.8mm s4000 UWA or Hyperion 8mm

Hi Everyone!

I am the proud new owner of a Meade s4000 UWA 8.8mm EP!

Because of all the rain I am yet to compare it to my Baader Hyperion 8mm.

I know its sharpness will blow me away (just like my 14mm does). However I'm a bit conserned that its transmition will me much worse and limit what I can see on the dim stuff.

It cost me $190 so I'm not expecting it to compete with modern Naglers nor can I spend more than this on an EP.

So the question is.... which one to keep?

Any opinions or experience is valued.

Cheers,

Dave.

PS. Just to define matters... The Hyperion is 68 degree view, Meade = 84 I think.
