I think it's fair enough if Lee wants to offer the cheapest deal, but he should be made aware of the quality difference, and let his customers know; something like: "you can have scope + s500s for X dollars, but for $60 more or whatever you can upgrade to GSO EPs, which are much better..." With the 8" scope you only get 2 EPs these days, so the cost of the upgrade around $30 would be well worth it, instead of being disappointed at first and then forking out $78 or more later.
I think a comparative review would really help new members and it would also help Lee better inform his customers. I only have the 4 & 20mm S500s, but you are welcome to them, Mike! I'll even pay the postage! In fact not only will I pay the postage, but I'll write you a cheque for $10 per eyepiece.
P.S. Cheques will not be honoured.
