Darren,

I find that most televue eyepieces (including the Plossls) provide slightly "warmer" lunar/planetary images than what I like personally. This is a very subjective thing of course and depends on the personal observing preferences of the individual. For this reason I prefer the Pentax XW's and the University Optics HD orthos, both of which give very cool/neutral planetary images to my eye.
