Is the GSO 2x(and 1.5x) barlow any good?

[tyler_jrb]

I am soon going to be buying a barlow and I am wanting to know if the GSO x2 and 1.5x is a good barlow or am i better off sticking with a x2 omni, meade or tal? I really like the sound of the gso barlow as it is being able to be used at 1.5x and will benifit me greatly as my 25mm would provide me with 48x, 70x and 96x. Then my 12mm 100x,150x and 200x. And the 10mm 120x,180x and 240x. effectively tripling my range of magnification which I realy like the sound off. Is there any flaws in this will the 1.5x provide me with less quality and is the barlow itself good quality. I also need to ask if there are any others around the same price which are better. Thanks all .

*Forgot to mention- wondering how it works with the 1.5x where abouts do you screw the eyepiece in?

Yes, it's good. You screw the lens to the eyepiece to get more or less 1.5x magnification factor.
