This was the review by Dr. Clay Sherrod that originally convinced me to buy the ETX125 as my first "real" scope.

BTW-I use a Meade 24.5 SWA(80X), 13mm (145X) and 9mm (210X) T5 Naglers on this scope and they are a fabulous. Even though the ETX is designed for 1&1/4" eyepieces only, I also use a Seibert 2 inch eyepiece adapter and the Seibert 36mm Observatory series eyepiece for wide field views (1.2 degrees true field of view). See review:

These eyepieces are also used in my F4.9 16" scope - but if you are just using them on the ETX at F15 then the cheaper widefields will work just fine.
