     Since you are obviously overflowing with knowledge, why don't you
simply tell everyone what the "real" best planetary eyepiece is. Of
course I wouldn't be at all surprised if don't have an opinion. You
probably spend too much time finding imaginary fault with the opinions
of others to have been able to form your own.

     Yes, the reports are definitely consistent. Maybe you should
consider why they're so consistent? However, I think you're the only
person to call them "superduper magical".
     In addition, "so much money" is a relative thing. Have you ever
bought a set of ZAOs?

     Ah yes, Andrea! What would we do without that particular
regurgitation of unbiased garbage from a devout TMB hater.

     Simply not the case. Perhaps Super Mono owners are greatly
overpaid and do very little to earn their money. With that being the
case, it would be no problem at all to part with a few bucks to get
the best.
     Of course there's also the possibility that the optical advantage
has been recognized, and many people are spending their money very
wisely when they buy them.

     Who are these people who doubt the advantage of advertising?
Just imagine how many Super Monos would be sold if there was ANY
advertising at all.
     Perhaps if you're not too busy with your "laughing" you could
point people to all the Super Mono ads you've seen. If you can't do
that it is very possible that there is a totally different reason for
people choosing to buy them.

     In my heart I know you don't have a clue about this subject, but
it's fun read your posts anyway.
