How would you all rate the Televue 2x barlow vs. the Celestron Ultima 2x? The TV has 2 elements while the Ultima has 3, both are fully multicoated, the TV looks a tad longer than the Ultima. So what do you all think? Also, how about the Klee 2.8x barlow vs. the Televue 2.5x barlow (not the Powermate)? Same 2 elements vs. 3 there, too. The eyepieces would be Televue Plossls.

I have an Ultima barlow BTW and it acts perfectly, like it is not even there, other than the 2x amplification. I would appreciate your opinions on this subject!
