The difference between 1.25" and 2" EPs

Hi,

I went to bintel/myastroshop websites to look at eyepieces. I have often looked at the stats for the 2" eyepieces, but, have never known what the difference is between them and the 1.25".

I looked at wiki and they say that it mostly has to do with the focal length of the eyepiece and the FOV. It it suggested that 32mm is about the limit for 1.25", but I have seen longer. For the 2" they suggest that 50mm is about the limit, but once again I have seen longer.

Given the price difference, and practically speaking, what is the difference between the 2" and 1.25" eyepieces?

Thanks for any info

Daniel...
