Thats interesting. The televue website lists the `virtual' field stop position to be 0.27" below the EP shoulder which is only 0.5mm further than the common 0.25" spec most of the eyepieces come in now. Similar to yours I heard of case where a guy had two Ethos to try in his 10" binoscope and could not get enough in travel though no problemwith other EP's . Go figure ..
I'm really hoping there will be some physical reason why the Ethos will not be suitable for binoviewing aside from minimum OPD limit which is oK ( my eyes are 67mm and it has 64mm diameter), otherwise I will have to get a second job to pay for a pair
