I have now had three occasions to use both of these eyepieces in my Meade 8" SCT (LX90).
What I've found is that they perform very much like the Meade SWA's (the 24mm and 18mm specifically). They are pinpoint sharp to at least where the 50 degree field stop would be and from there to the end they begin to seagull ever so slightly.
For me, that's not an issue at all. They are very comfortable to use and, again for me, the 60 degree AFOV mark is a sweet spot.
What I need to do and haven't yet is evaluate them on contrast. But so far they are keepers!
Interesting side note here. I recently picked up the three UO Super Erfles and was using the 25mm and 20mm as comparisons with the Meade's. These Super Erfles are really nice in an SCT!
Anyway, I'll post more when I get another opportunity to observe.
