The 820s are not Klingon-face friendly. I called Swift and asked if they could retrofit 804 rubber eyecups on the 820, but I was told they didn't do custom installations. In fact, they don't even do their own repairs anymore, they ship the bins to Texas Nautical. I might be able to persuade Texas Nautical to modify the eyecups, but I'm sure that would cost me a pretty pfennig, and then there's still the flexy betty bridge to deal with, so I'll stick with one of my 804s since the eyecups fit my face well.</blockquote>
