My thoughts.....
When I got my Meade 6 inch F3.6 Cometracker it was "ok" but nothing brilliand using the supplied 25 mm MA eyepiece. The Type 2 Naglers were not long out and I had the money for a 16mm one. Upon putting that on the Cometracker, it became something else entirely, a true rich field scope, and not just for night use. Scanning along the beaches of a day, it is just incredible with the Nagler, sharp across a good part of the field little bit of fall off at the edfges but not too bad. The Nagler does a great job on my 10 inch as well.
With a Meade air spaced triplet 2.8x barlow and the 16 Nagler on the Cometracker it gives surprisingly good views of the planets too, tack sharp resoloution.
Thats my 2 cents worth
