Tried the 8E in the Lightbridge tonight, and the EP is very nice. Compared with a T6 9mm Nagler the image is slightly less 'warm' to my eyes (though the effect is subtle). I can't bring it to focus in 2" mode (not enough out-travel), and so used it in 1.25" mode, which I don't think is preferable. I'll have to use an extension tube to use it in 2" mode, which is a bit of a pain, but worth it I think. The other plus for me is less nudging of the dob because of the wide FOV.
