Some things to check and consider.

See how their weight is to hold and use. If their weight feels too heavy to manage, then you might need to consider a different pair of binoculars.

Make sure the eye relief works for you. The article you linked to describes what eye relief is.

Check that the eyecups aren't too large for you to use. The 15x70 Acuter available from Astro Anarchy here in Brisbane, were a failure for me because of this. The eyecups were too large for me to have my eyes centred on the eyepiece lenses.
The thing is that that the cheaper model is even lighter than that costs 330$. 2 lbs vs 5 lbs

As for eye relief, this is a feature I consider from now.
