I'm in the process of replacing the gso eps that came with my 302 mm f5 Newtonian. I have a 17 mm vixen lvw which I really like and a 5 mm Orion Stratus to look at planets up close. I'm looking at a 9-10mm ep to sit between these and plan to take advantage of the great tv prices now on offer. I like the idea of a 9 mm nagler, but having read a few posts about shorter eye relief and peering around inside the ep, I am starting to wonder if I might be better off with the 10 mm Radian.

I wonder what people with experience of both think. If I choose a Radian am I settling for second best? Are they as good as naglers ( I don't mind sacrificing a bit of FOV, being quite happy with that of the lvw. Pentax xw is a bit out of the price range.

I'm also looking at replacing the 32 mm gso Kellner with a tv 32 mm plossl (again a Panoptic is not affordable at present.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
