I've had the Hyperion 24 for a few months now and am pretty happy with it. Great EP for the price. I agree there is some loss of crispness near the edge of the FOV when I use it with my f/4 schmidt-newtonian. When used also with a 2X barlow, the image is crisp everywhere.
Haven't used the other two EPs you review, so I can't compare. I did want to add one comment though, about a nice feature provided by all the Hyperions. There is an extra set of threads near the eyeball end that permits a camera to be attached directly to the EP. A set of low-cost adapters allows me to do afocal photography of the Moon and planets using my Canon digital camera.
