I have an ED2 14 mm EP which I bought from MyAstroShop, and it hasn't suffered from your problem. I bought it because the coatings were faulty on the GSO 15 mm Plossl I had at the time (like looking through a murky fishtank) and I wanted decent eye relief and a good sized eye lens. On the other hand the ED2 eyepieces are very average.
I have recently bought a Pentax XF 8.5 mm andI finally got to use last night; it is superb. Obviously I've not had much time with it, but the 60 deg AFOV is noticeably better than the Vixen LVs that I have (which seem similar optically - in fact the XF and the LVs are close to parfocal), edge of field is good, as is the contrast. Oh and the build quality of the XF is the best of any eyepiece I own.
