Steve, I have the Orion shorty + as well and dont have a problem with it.
I use a mixed bag of eps (nothing flash) with it and it works well, the most common eps I use barlowed are the 32 26 and 20 Meades .
But, like you I dont have another 2x to compare it with. I've a TV 3x which I use for the brighter objects.
