Thanks Ausastronomer (John). That is very informative and has raised some very good points. I guess the main things that will be important for me in this new EP are:
1. Long Eye Relief. This is one of the reasons I love my Vixen LV. It is comfortable and it helps to block out my neighbours lights(I am living in suburbia for another year before moving to Far Noth Queensland to a small rural town. Yay!).
2. Wide FOV.
3. Good performance over the entire viewable area. The 25mm Super Plossl that came with my scope(Synta?/Skywatcher?) is great in the middle of the view. Towards the edge the stars turn into long squigly sticks.
Cost is always an issue. But with this EP I am not in a hurry for it as I have been spending big of late. So I am willing to save up for a fairly expensive EP knowing that I will be happy with it. The pentax and the Naglar are tops on my list at the moment with the Vixen LVW coming in third. It's going to be a while before I get this EP, so I will continue to scour the internet for reviews and opinions so when I finally do get it I will be able to pick one (so hard, they are all nice).
