Google '1rpd'. You'll find they are owned by Astrobuffet and also find some reviews. I've yet to compare it to my GSO 32mm - which one reviewer rated very well next to it. The consensus seems to be that they are very nice with long f-ratio scopes but not so good at short ratios. I don't know how it compares with the Moonfish or the Andrews versions.
One of the nicest views I've seen for some years was eta carina under very dark skies in the 15cm f/8 refractor with (someone else's) OIII filter.
