mmm my 30mm was a hell of a lot bigger than I expected... heavier too... Nearly the size of a coke can... You should see the meade 5000 series
I've not used any other 2" ep's so I cant say if I'd rush out and buy a whole set of 2".. on some objects I've found my bog stock 25mm skywatcher plossi + 2x york optical barlow to produce absolutely stunning contrasty views of galaxies/nebula than anything else...
