While in no means an expert, I much prefer the 26 T5 over the 31 mm Terminagler...I have had an opportunity to try both on a few occassions in a couple of different scopes...While I am not sure exactly why, I've preferred the views from the 26 T5 myself.

Although I don't own either of these two eyepieces I do own the 16 mm T5 Nagler which I do enjoy although some find its eye relief tight.

John Bambury mentioned the 30 Pentax XW as well...if someone has this at Lostock, I might borrow it for an hour to see how it performs by comparison with the 26 and 31 Naglers. It is nice to have a choice between these three spectacular eyepieces!
