Hi Dylan,

That was a really great post you did on the benefits of premium eye pieces. Your post will educate many I'm sure.

I hope I don't get into trouble for saying this, but I really do feel people are robbing themselves of what they can see by just settling with mid range eyepieces. I don't have Naglers, but I do own Pentax XW & Vixen LVW which are premium eyepieces as well. You see so much more out of the premium eye pieces because there is less loss of light thereby giving more contrast. So yes, you will see more detail. When I first bought my scope, I followed good advice - you should spend as much on your eyepieces as you spend on your scope .
I just don't see the sense in spending so much money on a scope and being stopped by limitations of a mediocre eyepiece.
Just two premium eyepieces in your most used f/lengths is a necessity not a luxury in my opinion.

Congratulations on your Nagler purchase!
