I just started using the 30x Wide-angle eyepiece for the Raven scope. I'm quite pleased at the general quality of it, preferring it over the original 20-60x.
The exit pupil is not as wide as the more expensive scopes, but it's adequate.
The sharpness is not as great as the more expensive scopes, but it's adequate.
The brightness is just fine for my purposes.
If I ever strike it rich, I'll buy a Leica or Swarovski, but until then I'm satisfied with the Raven setup. I use a carbon fiber tripod and a Bogen fluid head, and the outfit is light and easy to use.
I see the new eyepiece as a marked improvement over the original setup, and recommend it to others.
