All of that makes sense. The Kowa Genesis was the 8.5X, so I always moved closer with them when comparing to 10X. I still maintain that the Minox BD 10X42 BP is at least as good as the SV for showing micro detail, maybe even a tiny bit better. For overall view, the SV is on another level.
Does not the magnification of the glass also factor in?
I'd expect to see materially greater detail in a 12x50 than in a 6x50, irrespective of my own VA and would hope for a sharper image in a 12x50 alpha than a 12x50 ruby coated. So the various glasses you mention might well have a performance gradient that your eyes can discern.
