Meade SWA's vs Panoptics

I have upgraded from a TMB115/LW to a Tec 140. with bino and 16 Nags on the 115, M81 and M82, though at the edge at low power with the bino is a pretty sight. In an effort to duplicate the framing, I am using the 24.5 Meade SWA's. The FOV should be 1.19 with the TEC and the Meades verses 1.12 with the 115 and Nags. I was kind of dissapointed with the SWA's. The pair fit my FOV, but barely, not quite as comfortably as the 115, and they just didn't seem sharp. My seeing and darkness maybe wasn't up to snuff with nights on the 115 but.... Wondering how the FOV of the 24 Pans compares directly to the Meades and how is the flatness and sharpness, I really thought I wouldn't have an issue with the bino because I'm at f 9.8 with the OCS. Any feedback would be appreciated, the field stop on the Meades might be restricting the FOV, but I can't find the info and wasn't satisfied with the edge anyway. The 115 is really nice and I'll have a hard time parting with either, but...one will go in a month. Thanks

All I can tell you is that the 24mm Panoptic is much better in every respect than the 24.5mm Meade SWA in my Newtonians. It is my understanding that, in general, the Series 4000 SWAs are more on a par with and were contemporaries of the Tele Vue Wide Fields, i.e. a generation before the Panoptics at Tele Vue. The Panoptics represented a big step up in edge performance on faster scopes.
