Stuck with a decision

[RiponJas]

Hi,  in the middle of tweaking my EP range and I am undecided between the following two for a 9mm. My frac is f7. 9 so not a fast scope. 

Any comments on the following would be appreciated, preferably based on experience of use not just speculation please. I'm perfectly capable of speculation myself!! ? 

Altair Lightwave Premium Long Eye Relief Eyepieces 68° FOV

Baader Morpheus 76° Widefield Eyepieces

Cheers guys and gals.

There is the Opticstar version of the Explore Scientific 82 8.8mm eyepiece. Same eyepiece just a bit cheaper.

There are literally no reviews of that Altair line or its clone siblings anywhere.  Being Long Perng manufactured eyepieces, they're probably good, but still an unknown.

I have the 9mm Morpheus, and it is excellent.  I'd rate it just about equal to the 10mm Delos I own.  Stars might not be quite as pinpoint sharp to the edge, but it's very close.  The wider apparent field of view is very engaging.

I would support John's recommendation above, my ES82 8.8mm outperforms many of my ep's and equals the 9mm Nagler in my opinion.  You could do a lot worse!

Cheers chaps. Was also considering the explore scientific range, should of popped that in my first post. 

As gathered I can't afford buying televue items so trying to find a range that's affordable and I'm comfortable using. 

I considered the Altair range as due to the shallow ocd side of me I like their appearance and would match my Altair diagonal. ? 

May hold off a little while longer whilst I get more info. But your replies have definitely narrowed the field in what I expect to get. So thanks once again.
