I used to own a 27 panoptic which I really liked.
I sold it and got a 31mm nagler and a 24mm panoptic. The 31 doesnt see much use unfortunately due to its size, weight and brightness of sky background in the presence of ANY light pollution.

The 24 panoptic I purchased because of its 'widest field in 1.25 format', so I could use my 1.25 uhc filter and for the convenience factor when swapping eyepieces ( not to be underestimated).The downside is that eye releif is rather tight compared to the pentax's I have.

For us dob owners at f5 , the 27mm panoptic is a real winner.
