I picked this barlow up a couple of weeks ago but haven't played with it all that much yet. With a little bit of baffling to control stray light it's as good as, if not better than the Kenko 1.4X Pro TC. The Kenko tends to show a slight hint of CA in bright contrast where as the Antares barlow being a 3 element apo design shows zero CA. Even when viewing at 100% it can't be detected. The barlow gives around 1.7X when mounted inside the scope adapter. The barlow is different from most as it only comes supplied as the lens cell with no barlow body. This is because it's designed just to screw into the end of eyepieces.
