John, you didn't rate the 30mm or 40mm have you not tried them???
I'm trying to upgrade my 30mm Ultima to something in the 2" range - the 32mm Astrola that came with my Hardin is utter junk!
I've used a 27mm Pan, briefly, and really liked it. I didn't get a chance to do any critical observing with it, so I can't say anything beyond it was really nice.
I'm considering that Pan, a 30mm Pentax, and a 31mm Nagler. Since all of them are close to or over $500US, I'm NOT going to buy ANYTHING until I get some eyeball time on them.
Funny thing is, if I had to make a blind purchase right now, I'm leaning towards the Pentax - I just love that 20mm ER and the adjustable cup. But since the 30mm Ultima really is nice, albeit narrow FOV, I'm not dying... YET!
