Actually i have heard the 2 inch gso barlow is a decent unit and will give far superior performance to any cheap barlow that Andrews sells.

Where you really want a barlow most is for high power planetary viewing where you are viewing bright objects of low contrast .
A cheap barlow will just not cut it due to reflections and scattered light. A bit like driving at night with a dirty windscreen.
