Good to see you went for the 1 1/4 inch barlow, I Got the 2" with scope for the 2" andrews 80 eye piece I ordered and it's a pain when trying to barlow a 1.25inch eyepiece with the 2" barlow

actually thinking of getting andrews 1.25 barlow or long barlow ($39 or $19 respectively) does anyone know why it's better apart from actual size + weight (like does it effect optics).
