Mark,
The 15mm ER of the 8 x 30 is the same as the ER on the Swarovski 8 x 30 CL and on the 15.8mm ER on the 10 x 30 it is almost 2mm longer than the 14mm ER on the Swarovski 10 x 30.
If their eye cups are bigger, so much the better. I brace the eye cups on my brow ridge just under my eyebrows. We will see because I have used my wife's 8 x 30 CL quite a bit.
BTW, I stopped trying to get CA to "show itself" long ago. I think that is a good policy. But Elk Cub probably knows more about that what with the eye and brain working together and all that stuff.

PS: Have you seen one of these new Nikons? Where did you get the information that the "eyepieces" are huge? The "eye cups," from the pictures of them, do look larger than the ones on the Swarovski CLs.
Bob,
Check Adorama's website. They have the best and most photos I've seen so far, and one shows the eyepieces. They look to be 20mm or more in diameter.
I don't think I'd have eye relief problems with the Nikon, but I suspect others might. I've seen the 10x30 CL (but not the 8x) and although I had to push them against my glasses a bit, I could see the whole field.

PS: the 8x has 6 photos, the 10x only one
