Hi Mark,
I owned the 8 & 12mm SPLs for about 2 years, before selling them. I ranked them tied for 3rd with a few other EPs, including the Radian, for on axis sharpness. The Radian isn't bad as a planetary EP, btw, considering it's not touted as such.
My mounts track, so I'm not influenced by the quality of edge of field as others are, nor am I bothered by eye relief. I understand others have had better results with the SPLs. My point is simply to offer a contrarian view for those who desire them and can't afford them on the resale market. Don't kick yourself for not owning them.
