I haven't tried the Swarovision, yet. But what every one about the EDG is true. Compared to the SE, the 8x32 EDG has much better CA control, greater depth of field, more neutral color representation, and easier eye placement (for me). As for the strong points of the SE, such as the brightness, edge sharpness, "pop" in the view, I can't tell any difference in the EDG. The only problem of the EDG for me is the ergonomics in warmer weather. Without gloves, the SE fits my hand very well and I can hold it steadier than the EDG. With thick gloves, my small hands can't reach the focus wheel comfortably because of the extra padding on the palms, but now the EDG is perfect for my hands. Even with handwarmers tucked in my gloves, my fingers can work the EDG focuser very comfortably. The gloves even damp out the vibrations, making the EDG as steady as the SE. So the overall ergonomics is about equal for me. Of course this is just my personal assessment. I have the suspicion that I'm more sensitive to CA (or has less finesse in placing my eyes at the correct place to eliminate CA in the SE), and less sensitive to brightness differences than most other people. Overall, I find the EDG 8x32 to be equal to the SE in view, in a more user-friendly package.
As for the SV 8.5x42, I'm pretty sure what every says is true that it's sublime. But I'm not ready to put down $2k+ for a pair, and am not looking forward to carrying the mass in the field. Another thing that I just learned is that my pupils don't dilate much beyond 4mm anyway even in reasonably dark condition, so the larger aperture of the current SV don't benefit me except for easier eye placement. I'm holding out (and saving) for the 8x32 SV. When and if it comes out, I'll definitely take a look through it, and decide if it's worth the upgrade over the EDG.
