Yep, I'd agree with that totally. My 17mm Nagler is a gem and the 12mm is the one I reach for when looking for galaxies, with the 9 and 7 and 5mm type 6's for a closer look. The generous eye relief is one reason I went for the type 4's, much more comfortable viewing. Haven't looked through an Ethos yet, I'm not sure I want to. It's going to cost a packet to upgrade if I try one. I must resist the temptation!!!
