First light (for this user) last night and I'm very impressed. Now I know what you are all talking about when you say pin-sharp stars from edge to edge. This eyepiece came in close to this level of performance for me. With the scope collimated as best as I could, centred stars were very sharp and stayed well focussed out to fairly close to the edge of the FOV. Also the edge of the field was easily seen - eye relief is good. I found it was best to have the eyecup up (40 km distant Melbourne skyglow was still bright - casting shadows!).
With my 2" DGM NPB filter in place on the adapter, this eyepiece didn't threaten to touch its surface, as did the 15mm GSO plossl. Tarantula and Carina nebulae were engrossing!
