Size doesn't matter

Here is a selection of different size eyepieces to compare the physical size of eyepieces of much the same MM range. first is a 3.7mm Ethos compared to a Explore Scientific 6.7mm then a 11mm ES with a Nagler 12mm and a Edmond Optics 28mm with a ES 30mm.

I don't understand what you mean about size doesn't matter regarding eyepieces? The mentioned eyepieces have different fields of view, different levels of astigmatic correction, eye relief etc. Hence why they are different in shape and design.

But I sure wish my Delos 12 was more the size and weight of a Tak LE…

Cheers

Mate I didn't say anything about FOV or correction and relief I was comparing the physical size of eyepieces of approximately the same mm size.
