So, you mean the edge is not as sharp as the UO's? Maybe, the quality not as
consistant than other, more expensie brands, that's why it's cheap.

This eyepiece (also sold by ATWB), has been much discussed. Do a Google
newsgroup search. I have one that I got from ATWB, and I like it in our
6"
f/6 mak-newt and 10" f/5.7 dob. Some folks in our club did a direct
comparison with an UO 32mm Konig in these scopes, and everyone pretty much
agreed that it was as sharp and bright as the UO until its fov exceeded
the
UO's, and then it fell off. On the other hand, on the internet many other
folks have commented very negatively. I have seen them go for as little
as
$75 on Astromart. As always, I would try before you buy.
