While the 14XW does improve with a Paracorr, I still find in most cases I use it without. Not found it to be much of an issue, even in 10" F4.7 dob. No issue at all in this F ratio in a larger dob to my eyes.

I use a pair of the 14XW for binoviewing (my eyes are far enough apart!), but because of the OCS needed with dobs (loosely speaking a kind of a barlow), there are NO field curvature issues whatsoever.

I'd like to know how the Ethos 13 compares with the 14XW in terms of contrast, resolution and light throughput. Obviously the Ethos blows the XW away for AFOV.
