I disagree. I don't like that the full field is not sharp, and seagulls around the edges. I still have to nudge as much as with a plossl because the usable field of the superview is no greater than the plossl. Yes, it does give you a bit more of a floating-in-space feeling, but only pleasant when you're looking at the centre of the field of view, so the blurry seagulls near the edge are in the peripheral.
Dave, If you're going to get one, get only one, and see how you like it.

Don't be tempted by the UWs. Not recommended for fast scopes. See
this review on our very own Iceinspace.
Sirius Optics have the Shorty-Plus for $135, and Bintel dropped their price to $139 as well since I pointed it out to them. (Bintel did sell me one for $135, but they charged me $4 over the online price of the camera adapter I bought at the same time, cheeky buggers.)
