2 naglers , I can get a few quality plossyls for the money.

If you cant try before buying, I would definitely recommend doing a lot of research and buy 2nd hand. Buying 2nd hand if you dont like it you have the opportunity to on-sell at minimal loss. Imagine shelling out for a new 5mm nagler and being disappointed at shelling out so much if you cant handle the short eye relief.

When talking high end eyepieces, not all are equal and each have their own quirks and compromises to consider. For example not all naglers are equal and each is different in its own way. Theres only a few of those that I like and would own.
