Default Baader 36mm vs Konig 32mm

Eyepiece enthusiasts,

I just ordered an LX200R OTA 8" to go along with my SV102 APO. I've been through all kinds of eyepieces and ended up with all Naglers. Eventually I switched to binos. I'm now back to eyepieces and have three Baader Planetarium Hyperions: 8, 13, 21. I've ordered the 24mm BPH because I am so fond of the other 3.

I want to pick up a wide field for my LX200R. I've come down to two choices: The Baader 36mm Aspheric. And the new Konig MK80 32mm.

I have not looked through either eyepiece. Since the price for each is a bit substancial, $269.00 and $295.00 respectively, I want to make the right choice.

I prefer the Baader for the following reasons:
It will match my other eyepieces.
The FOV works out to be about the same as the Konig.
The price is better, includes shipping and a discount with OPT.

Any comments on the performance of the two?

Thanks,

Kins

I decided to go ahead and order the 36mm Baader. I based my judgement on the other three Baaders that I already have. I'll post a note on this forum about its performance after I have had a chance to try it out.
