I'll be interested to hear how you go on DSO's without any barlows . I did the calcs once and you will probably have the equivalent of a 6" true bino once everything is factored in.
My experience with binoviewers is that they are a compact convenient trade off- the bino effect is a bit of a trick as you don't have two genuine individual light paths , so some of the binocular effect is lost - but it is really nice to use both eyes. You won't get a halo effect on Jupiter with a denk.

Thanks Mark. Will post up my DSO/Lunar results here hopefully sometime soon. Based on reports I've read I expect the views of dso to be dimmer but contrastier, we'll see.
I'll definitely be investing in a Denk if I become accustomed to binoviewing
