The 5.5mm six element is excellent. I have the 5.5, 9, 14 and 20. In scopes greater than f6 they are almost identical to a nagler in sharpness. In fact the closest eyepiece to them I have seen so far is the old TeleVue wide fields (pre-panoptic). In almost every way they are identical, except they are more comfortable to use. The panoptics are in fraction sharper though.
Under f6 they lose a bit around the other 5% of the FOV (the same amount as the TeleVue wide fields) but it's much better than GS superview.
