Invariably, when observing DSO's, I jump from the 27mm TV Panoptic to sometimes the 14mm Pentax XW, but most often the 10mm Pentax XW.

For long time I was content with a 27 pan, 14 and 10.5XL's and a barlow and I still reckon I covered all bases pretty well. I would certainly agree with what John has said there.
I now have a 31 nagler and it rarely gets used because of large exit pupil size and also the fact that its a huge heavy thing to be swapping back and forth from.
I beleive the UWAN is also quite big and heavy and may also come with some ergonomic issues due to its physical design.
I miss my 27mm panoptic for the reasons that its small and light enough comparitively speaking to not be an effort to swap out, and giving awesome comfortable views even in semi light poluted places.
