David,
I just followed the link that John posted to Steve Massey's website. The 6mm is $165 !!! Where did you get $250 from ?
At $165-00 you gotta think long and hard about them !!! They are marginally inferior in terms of light transmission to a high grade orthoscopic or plossl but the upside is the extra eye-relief and that is very important to some people. They have 20mm of eye-relief in each focal length and are very comfortable to use.
$165-00 is a good price and if you like them go for them. At $250-00 each they weren't such a good buy
