Televue: 12mm Radian vs 11mm Plossl

Starting to reduce down the contenders. Basically, from snake valley, I can safely say that the naglers and other televues that I was fortunate to look through were 4 to 5 times better than my series 500 and 2 to 3 times better than my andrews ultrawide 80 degree. This is an overall "feel" after reading reviews, actually looking thru the scope etc.

I know my series 500 were free, so lets say they belong to the $50 and under club. I can justify to myself and wife that If i can get an eyepiece at $250 that performed like the naglers, i will be very happy. For wide field, 3 x $150 = $450.

Which brings me to TV radians @ 12mm ($385) & TV plossls @ 11mm ($145).

Now both of these fall into my target price range (well $385 is close enough).

I have read the stats on the TV website, but what are peoples overall impressions on one over the other???
