Explore 82D 14mm field curvature - how bad?

Have read that the 82-degree 14mm is the worst of the line and has significant field curvature. However, most of these comments seem to have come from people using it in fast Dobs, which is not my intended purpose.

I am considering it for use in my SV80ED f/7 refractor only. I have a Delos 14mm for my Newt and 110ED.

Has anyone tried it in a f/7 scope? Any comparisons with other eyepieces would be useful. For example, I used to own a 13mm Stratus and thought it was 'ok' in a f/6 Dob I used to own, but that was before I'd ever looked through Nagler, Panoptic or XW!

Thanks

Morton
