Hi Andy, I can vouch for the 40mm smoothie. I'm building a 12.5x102 finder for my 25" Tectron and I'm using the 40mm for a finder eyepiece.

I'm a fan of them too. I'm still trying to finish my collection. Just 1 more 20mm to complete the Bino pairs

I also have the complete set of Meade 4000s with eyecups. I've had most of them for 30 years.
