Both will do their job, although I find the brightness of the Baader a bit more outspoken. Very nice eyepiece. The

The 6.5 mm Morpheus is better in every way: better ergonomics, plenty eye relief, more acute and contrasty, and certainly more immersive. Morpheus costs more but is well worth the extra money.

Re: 6.7mm ES82 vs 6.5mm Baader Morpheus.
Hmm first before I buy another eyepiece I think I'll have to try out the ES82 11mm when the weather gods finally cooperate and see how well I handle it's ultrawide 82* field of view. When I used my brothers 11mm I liked it's improved sharpness and clarity over the Expanse eyepieces but wasn't sure how felt about it's ultrawide 82* field of view. I also only had my brothers 11mm for a single night I think two year's ago. I bought my 11mm when I did because it was the best eyepiece I could afford at that point and I wanted to try a good ultrawide and see what I thought. It might turn out that I don't get on with ultrawides and prefer a ~68* field of view. :Think:
I'm looking forward to when the almighty weather gods finally cooperate with me!

Some people rate the XL as optically better than the XW, and the XL are on classifieds for less than $200.
Just my 2 Euro cents,
