Yes, I knew about your Meopta 6.5x - you have praised it in Bf. more than everyone else on the internet together! Actually, I, too, have found it v. attractive, in my case only as a prospect yet, going by the config., specs. and a few reviews even before yours.
Sorry one thing is not too clear - what is meant there by "the field cachet"?
So the EDG is "inspiring" - ha - the old Leica and Nikon spectrum trick - of which I too am a willing victim! (There may be more to it, of course.) I remember your rendition of this effect - a comparison of L., N., Swarovski and Zeiss? - by image editing, a year or two back.

The comparison was with the Fury, the Zeiss FL and the Nikon HG.
The EDG provides a more sober version of the HG's Technicolor-style view.
It appears slightly more bright and brilliant than the Fury but with decidedly more colour contrast than the FL.
Re the boosted EDG colours, it is still very close to perfectly neutral rendition. The boost should provide some correction against distance haze, but not like the Meostar non-HD or original Conquests by just being yellow.
