After using the NV 8X42 for a week now,(I do not wear glasses so during the day the eye-cups are all the way out, under lower light, they can be lowered one tier) I do like them, same approximate weight as the EL SV 8.5X42, so a bit heavy for a 8X42, comparatively.
Additionally I could see where the eye relief/eyecups could be problem for some. Overall in general regarding optics only, (I still feel the EDG 8X42 is my favorite 8X42 esp. based on the ergonomics), I would have to say the statement below by Peter is on point. Both also handle glare extremely well.
"Concerning the flat field (or lack thereof), if I was asked to describe in a single short sentence the view thru the NV I'd say that it's quite similar to that thru the EDG but with more field curvature".
