35mm Panoptic & C14

I am considering adding this eyepiece to my setup, but have heard some negative comments. Specifically, when this eyepiece is used with the C14 there is noticable comma. Has anyone experienced this with the C14 or other scopes?

Thanks for your comments...Ken

I just purchased a C14 2 weeks ago and have a 27 Pan which shows absolutely pinpoint star images to the edge of the field. I know it is not a 35MM and the field is just slightly smaller (the 27 has the 2 inch barrel and I believe the same field stop diameter as the 35). I love the Panoptic view though the C14 (I also have Naglers but I still prefer the Panoptic for the sharpness). I also use a 40MM UO MK70 which does show some coma in the outer 20% of the field.
