I did lots of comparing I looked through a 10 inch Meade because it was what was
around to look through. I also used a 6 inch Astro Physic's Because it was
available. I used many different eyepieces to see what I wanted to buy. Spend
the extra and go with the Nagler. I now own several (nagler's) I bought many of
them used but in 9++ condition. My scope gets here this week.( If buying before
the scope is even delivered isn't a reference I don't know what is.). I have
used the ones I bought on other peoples scopes. They are fantastic.

First one I could have sworn somebody shipped me a box of rocks.
