Hi Brock,
I may have missed it, but I didn't read anyone on this thread saying one view is more "natural" than the other, ... and I thought Ronh summarized several notions rather well, although I might not subscribe to them all:
Judging by the fact that stereo binoculars were used during the European trench wars, presumably with good effect to improve distance estimation, I'm not persuaded that "insult is added to injury" by the larger stereo base afforded by Porros. Both Henry and Kimmo also appear to acknowledge the improvement to roof views with larger objective separations. So, ... no issue?
Frankly, I'm happily torn between my two favorites: (a) the 8.4x44 Swift 804ED, and (b) the Swaro 8x42 SLC HD. Vive la difference!

"I'm not persuaded that "insult is added to injury" by the larger stereo base afforded by Porros."
Neither am I, but it sure seems like some were trying to prove that opinion objectively, and my point was, they can't.
Take Steve C., for example, who doesn't see the stereo effect of porros. Or those who don't see CA or RB or the "roof illusion". Or those who say the FL has a "blue bias" and those who don't. Or those who say the SE's color is neutral and those who say it has a "red bias".
Perceptions vary from person to person. They can even vary in the same person.
In these cases, "the numbers simply don't add up". :smoke:
