I think you get what you pay for. My Shorty Plus blows away my GS barlow but when you compare how much they cost then its like comparing apples with oranges. In all honesty I don't know about the views through the 2" GS barlow but I would imagine it to be about the same as the 1.25" quality.
My advice would be to buy the best you can afford so the urge to upgrade is delayed as much as possible.
