Beat me too...I'll be the one of the first to say that I like the Televue green paint a whole bunch and would not hesitate to offer them as good choices...however, I am very happy with my 7 mm Pentax XW...although expensive (not a lot different than the Naglers), it is a good piece of gear...good eye relief, good performance...the only "flaw" to me is the size...compared to the Nagler T6 line of eyepieces it seems big...
There are many schools of thought with regards to eyepieces...I tend to be of the school that fewer eyepieces of better quality is a better strategy than several average of below...a good quality eyepiece will work in a variety of scopes (fast or slow) and they will hold the value better...the eyepiece makes up a large portion of the optical pathway...I prefer to do visual astronomy (not well enough or often enough but it is what I like)...and so try and get the best views I am capable of...
