It is my favorite 10x bin. Same EWA 70* AFOV as the 8x, sharper edges due to the smaller (but still class leading) 7* FOV and excellent color contrast. Blacks are black hole black, not charcoal black. The extended barrels makes the 10x35 easier to hold than the 8x30s (which I added #5 Bushwackers). In fact, I can hold the 10x35 EII steadier than any other 10x bin I've tried. The balance is perfect in my hands. The 7* FOV is very nice for a 10x bin, some 8x roofs only have 7* or a bit more FOV.  It also has larger exit pupils than 10x32 roofs and more light gathering power @ 35mm. It is larger than the 10x32 FL, as Arthur mentioned, but you won't get the immersive 3-D view of the EII from a 10x32 roof. </blockquote>
