I was observing Mars, using my MN56 and UO Orthos, and then my Radians. Started out using a 2x shorty barlow from Meade, and switched to my 2X Big Barlow. The difference was obvious, hard to believe, but extremely pleasant. I was about to put my scope away for the evening, but spent another 45 minutes looking and sketching. I will make much more use of this barlow than I have been. Very, very nice indeed.

A little pricey, but if you have a achromatic refractor with a 2" Focuser, try the 3x trick with it using low mag eye pieces by putting the barlow in front of the diagonal. You will be most pleasently surprised with your results.
