Have you seen Alex's thread on the Daystar solar eyepiece?

Wouldn't mind one myself, but not at that price. Wouldn't mind a decent sized dedicated Solar scope….but not at the prices asked. Binoviewers give a much better white light image, combined with a Baader solar film for visual than a single eyepiece and cheaper than the Daystar or dedicated Solar scope. William Optics is what I have, cost $200 second hand 3 1/2 years ago….Baader film….cheap as chips.

As for eyepieces…as Brian says in Monty Python's movie 'Life of Brian'…. you have to work it out for yourself. Buy them and use them ...for months. Looking through an eyepiece once or twice isn't enough to know if you like it or not. Keep what you like, sell what you don't.

FWIW that is my approach.
