Are the Orion HighLight Plossl eyepieces a good value for the money? Are they optically better then the Sirius line of Plossls? How do they compare with the Meade 4000 Plossls made in Japan?

I only have one of these the 20mm. It is ok, I use it in my spotter scope. It is as good as the Meade 26mm I use, not quite as good as the Parks Gold Series 30mm I use. In a fast scope, my spotter is a f/4.1 I am getting a little spherical fish eye with the 20mm, in a faster scope it seems fine.
