Surely the Star Optics price is a mistake? Some of the other Pentax 1.25" oculars are priced at $549 on their web page although the 5mm and 20mm are also different. You could ring them and check if you were thinking of buying from them. I've bought stuff from Barry at Kokusai Kohki and always had excellent and swift service, I've not tried the other vendors you list.

Enjoy your Pentax XW when you get it, they are excellent eyepieces!
