From your comments I can see that the trade off with zooms is field width and illumination - both points that are rather negligible when it comes to planetary observating.

The other important question I have is, how does the Hyperion 8-24mm perform in terms of Contrast and Sharpness? I know that camera zoom lenses aren`t as sharp as primes, is that similar with zoom eyepieces?
