Anyone use the Explore Scientific 5.5 mm 62 degrees?

I am thinking about picking up a few cheaper and lighter eyepieices to fill out my collection - in particular looking at the ES 5.5 mm 62 degree, which i would use in F6 scopes for higher magnifications - mostly for looking at doubles, the Moon and planets. Has anyone used this EP? Also thinking about picking up the 14, 20 and 26 mm in the same range.

I would pick up the 5.5mm Meade UWA for basically the same money (at least over here in the states, $99 vs $93).  Wider field, excellent sharpness by all accounts (it's the newest design of all the Meade UWAs), and good eye relief.

Search on Cloudy Nights for some user reports on the ES-62 line.  They are very similar to the older 60 degree Meade 5000 Plossls if you want to dive even deeper.

Those CN threads seem to suggest the 5.5 would work for me.
