I have a Vixen 22 mm LVW, which is a nice eyepiece, but I have to say that the Hand Grenade Sized super-heavy-weight 20 mm type II nagler, now a collectors item, beats it by a mile. (This "big kahuna", that weighs as much as a telescope counterweight, is so highly regarded that it still costs a small fortune, even on the second hand market)
Usually, I would say that Super Premium eyepieces like the Naglers are a luxury, compared to Good Quality lower priced eyepieces, but the views through the old 20 mm Type II Nagler do make the 22mm LVW seem like a toy, in comparison to the Nagler.
To me, the Vixen 65 degree field eyepieces have always seemed overrated, considering their high price.....there are plenty of cheaper eyepieces that give views every bit as good.
