Although your posts seem to equate them, the WO and Orion 1.25" dielectric diagonals are of different design and construction (see attached pics). Notice in particular the non-adjustable, carbon fibre, side-entry panel of the WO, versus the more conventional bottom-entry design of the Orion. The weight of the WO is given as 270gr, whereas my Orion is a trim 190gr.
They
may have a common third-party manufacturer, but FYI these two diagonals are quite different animals.
