For info Brian, I have two 8-24 zooms which I am keeping, and my eyepieces range from 49deg to 100 deg AFOV. I agree - horses for courses, but spending most of my time in 68 deg AFOV Panoptics, I sure feel somewhat constricted back down around 50 deg AFOV. Unless, I'm focussed on parts of the Moon or on Jupiter. So I'd suggest "try before you buy" for a zoom.
By the way, I always feel that 8-24mm just isn't enough zoom for me. Who is going to make a 5-30mm that I can buy?
