Probably why the TV stuff is so expensive, sigh! That's why we need competition.

There are other good barlows around...why just TV? Don't get me wrong...I have a TV 1.25inch 2X Barlow. It's good but there are others just as good.
It is my intention to eventually upgrade from the standard plossl eyepieces that come with Sky-watcher dobs to higher quality eyepieces, so I want to get a very good quality Barlow so that there will be no degredation in image when I upgrade to higher quality eye pieces.

I have read reviews in relation to Barlows and a general consensus out in the astro-community seems to be that for the money the quality you get with the Tele Vue Barlows is a steal.

Nevertheless, if you have other recommendations I am all ears.
