Mark mine is an XL , not an XW, but the performance is very much the same as how John and Mike describe it. For those wanting an XW, the XL could be a satisfactory alternative at a cheaper price on the 2nd hand market. The most obvious difference between the pentax's and the others is the comfortable 20mm of eye relief which I have come to appreciate.
My 14mm gets 75% of my scope time, either barlowed for planetary or on its own for dso's.
