At such high power, it won't be an ep that will get lots of use, so I think I can handle some defiencies (maybe , that's why I'm still thinking ).
They were about a $100 off on sale a couple of weeks ago, so I hope I haven't missed out by the time I make up my mind.

In general, from the plenty that I've read, people seem to be quite happy with the Explore Scientific range which is why I'm considering it myself.
The 4.7 mm gets really good reviews. I'm going to get one myself. Need a bit more mag for the 102mm. Its sharp and the fields is flat. Even if it doesn't get much use its really good value.
Its no Vixen LVW - Which I think produce probably the nicest views I've ever seen. Although, I havn't looked through a Pentax XW eyepiece yet. But the PRICE. Makes my eyes water. I look through the ES eyepieces and am thankful for the price I paid for the quality. Which to be honest wasn't much at all in some cases.
I think you can buy the 4.7 mm with confidence that you wont regret it.
