Seibert vs. Panoptic

I was looking at the (lack of) reviews on the 19mm Ultra from Seibert. Does anyone have this eyepiece? How would it compare to a Panoptic in an f9.6 scope?

Thanks,
Charlie

The Ultra's are his new line... his other eyepieces tend to be very nice eyeieces...and this is an attempt to break into the premium category. Stacked up against a Panoptic though... it's gonna be a long haul for Harry to beat one of those!!
