John,
I just received a 2" Astro-Tech dielectric diagonal for refractors and am very pleased. I have had all the rest over the years and the Astro-Tech is very well made. It looks like a WO and is made from a single piece of aluminum. Both the 2" ep port and 1.25" ep adapter use a brass compression ring.
I believe the enhanced mirror version is the same build quality (again, the same as the WO). I bought the dielectric version simply because the coatings are more rugged and can be cleaned more easily.
