Yes.
Steve, I suspect Nicolas is rather unassuming and modest, and with that I hope he makes mine better overall as he did yours. The fact that he will disassemble them completely leads me to believe that that will be the result. I like your encouraging report.
Ed, I am one of those "fans" of a large apparent field. I got used to it with the 804R's. Anything smaller can be disappointing, and have set an arbitrary lower limit of 60 degrees for any future binocular purchase. 60 is the AFOV of my TeleVue Radian eyepieces used in my telescopes. Then I have three Panoptic eyepieces of 68 degrees. Their Nagler line of eyepieces, with a 82 degree field, have the "spacewalk" quality of view -- just as you refer to the term "presence." Now they have the Ethos line with 100 degrees. OK, now we're getting too wide! The point is, I got tired of looking through the comparatively narrow peepholes of my older eyepieces.
A few days ago I thought of looking for a nice high-quality compact roof, so I went looking through listings of binoculars, all roofs, and see such narrow fields in the specs. Some of them are in the 45 degree area. It's disappointing.
