Swarovski ATS80HD eye-pieces (1 Viewer)

Does anyone have experience of the new 45xWW eye-piece and the 20-60x zoom used with the ATS80HD 'scope? Is there a very noticable performance difference, compared to the mid-range setting of the 20-60x zoom eye-piece? Ultimately, is the 45xWW eye-piece worth the price of around £200?

No direct experience but I should think it would be great for sea-watching. It would also offer a wider and brighter view that would probably be sharper than the zoom (although looking at the spec, it's not that much wider).
