refining my eye piece collection

I want to clean up my eye piece case.
I have now sold most of the naglers

I am thinking of changing to a straight ethos case of 8mm-13-17 and keep the 31 nagler.
Anyone have thought on this combination? I ask as its a few thousand in change and of coarse the lost of my Naglars...Thanks for any ideas

Not 100% what you have currently but I would tend towards... 6/10/17 or 8/13/21 - 13 to 17 isn't a big enough difference to justify the cost I reckon. The 21mm is huge and heavy (bout the same as a 31mm Nag).

We have a mixed collection of EPS, but typically in the DOB it's 7/13/20mm Nags with a 35mm Panoptic (one day I'll replace it with a 31mm Nag, it's not used often anyway). Otherwise it tends to be 3-6mm Nag with 10mm and 21mm Ethos in the Tak. If I had my time again I'd buy a 17mm Ethos instead of the 21mm I think. Then I'd get a 6mm Ethos as well

BTW if the 9mm Nag needs it's old home back, lemme know eh !

ya I am going 6- 10- 17 ethos as I have the 6 and the 17. So it means I have to look at the 31nag and keep the 24pan. So it looks like I share your ideas.

I have the 8 and 13 Ethos, but with a 20T5; I was going to upgrade to a 21, but find I just don't use the fl that much. So its mainly the 8 & 13 with the 13 doing by far the bulk of the work.
