Depends what you mean by fine... I am normally a picky person so I'm still not sure if the barlow is what it was meant to be or if I got a dud. I definitely prefer native short FL EP to shorty-plus barlowed effective short FL EP. With the UO 2", it is not the same story. For wide view EPs I prefer the performance of the barlowed EP (sharper edges, less pincushion ... the usual things that go with longer focal ratio, with very little contrast loss).
I or the barlow's current owner will let you know if it is exchanged for another and how the new one performs.
