I've never made a study of this but I think some binoculars are more forgiving of slight misalignment of IPD setting than others. I've noticed on occasion when trying other people's optics that some roof prism bins with a narrow field of view are a bit more tricky to get right while my old Porros 10x50s, which got passed around a fair bit before their premature demise, were very easy to reset - maybe they had more latitude for being slightly out?
That agrees with my experience: porros were more tolerant of IPD setting, and roofs seem more finicky now. And we live in a roof prism era, though I do still have a great old Zeiss porro.
