Having both Baader and Orion Stratus I can recomend both equally for their visual performance but on fit and fittings the Baader is an outright winner. I recently had a chance to visually compare the Baaders with equal sized Naglers in a TakFS102 with JohnG and we were both of the opinion that for the price the Baader were a great EP. The Baader fell away on overall field width and was a little low on star colour but otherwise not a lot in it.
EP's are really a personal choise. Some people never really look at edge of field so a little comma or curvature is not important to them and some people like me don't use an EP very much at all. I spend most of my time looking at a computer screen.
It is nice to look through a good EP that is clear and free of deformities.
I have not used a Pentax but they seem to rate very well. Dont discount some of the middle of the road priced EP such as Vixen, Baader, Orion and Williams Optics. They are all pretty good.
