I have used the 7x42 Dialyt, P version, a fair amount. It has more field of view than any of my other binoculars with comparable eye relief, but in most scenarios all that the extra 10m or so did was let the pigeon being hunted come into view a second or so earlier. When I did get to see flocks under attack in the open sky, the large field of view did let me see more of the flock, but I found the falcon might go off so high and/or far away before attacking that it was very difficult to follow with 7x. The 7x42 has some great qualities - I love the way it comes so easily to my eyes and is so steady compared to 10x (and even 8x) which together make for a really enjoyable fatigue free view - and is great for closer observation but (as of right now anyway) I prefer the size of image 8x or 10x gives me at most of the distances I'm observing at.
