I notice that the Orion Website lists only 3 focal lengths of their Stratus line. No indication that the others are out of stock or backordered. Have they been discontinued? They seemed popular and must have been a good seller. Anyone know what's up?

The Baader Hyperion EP's have considerable upgrades for only $10 more than the Stratus. Go to the Alpine Astronomical website and check them out. I suspect that Orion isn't wanting to get caught with unsold inventory so they are quietly getting rid of stock at current prices before they meet the Baader upgrades or replace the Stratus with another EP style. I can see no reason to buy the Stratus when only $10 extra gets you a more versatile EP with nicer coatings in the Hyperion series.
