From memory, my impression of the Radian 5mm was better. It has less scattered light than the Burgess (virtually none of that sort of scatter...), a full 60-degree FOV, and more generous eye relief: very comfy. Feels like a premium EP too. The Burgess is a bit rough around the edges, esp with the twist-up eyegard action. Burgess maybe has less false colour off-axis. Given the choice I would opt for the Radian but next to the Burgess the TV offering certainly looks way overpriced.

I did not notice the eye placement issue with either EP but settled in quicker with the Radian. Geoff, I experienced the sort of thing you are describing with the 17mm T4.
