Kikkertspesialisten (a Norwegian dealer) have added the 8x42 NV to their ranking/reviews.
NV gets very good scores overall (second place in total), top-score for FOV with glasses, contrast and brightness.
Resolution (Oplosning) is said to be measured objectively in the lab. NV gets 97.5 vs 94.5 for Zeiss SF 8x42.
Swaro SV 8.5x42 gets 100 (0.5x mag advantage), The cheaper Leica Trinovid HD 8x42 gets an impressive 99.
In previous review format there was info (and sometimes score) on glare handling/surpression also, but it seems they have removed that, unfortunately.
