I would find such a comparison intersting also.

I already have a UO planetary series 9mm HD Ortho, and I am thinking of expanding my collection.This ep displays great contrast and is sharp edge to edge. Simply awesome on Saturn - Cassini Division, as well as surface detail. It also has outstanding performance with my OU 2" 2x Barlow. The downside, of course, is the narrow fov. (No tracking on my dob )

The Vixen LV would have to be a big improvement for me to consider it over the UO HD Orthos for an extra $45 or so per ep.

Like Mike, I have also splashed out on a Panoptic, a 19mm. So $$$ are a little tight at the moment .
