I have experience with the 20x100 model with no nebula filters. I can tell you
a couple of things:
They are not worth the extra weight if you don't have VERY dark skies. You'd
be better off with a pair of 7x50. The 20x100 require massive and stable
support and although they will show more on your skies, they are really true
champions only under very dark skies.
Under very dark skies they are in the class of "WOW" viewing.
However if you have any dark patch of sky near you or you don't mind
travelling a little further away, buy them. They are worth their money.
