Hey Fellas...

I'm in the process of buying a medium power (15-18mm) wide angle eyepiece. I'd like to get the Nagler 17mm, however the price point of the Meade 18mm UWA is awfully enticing. Does anyone have any experience out there with this new Meade EP, and more specifically, compared it to the 17mm Nagler? Any sincere, truly unbiased reviews would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,
Paul R.

Not as nice as a Nagler, but a slower scope is OK, faster scope not so good. Edge performance is not really great.
