My most memorable views have all been with the 10" bino:
1) Looking at M42 with twin Ethoi. The sense of immersion was unparalleled, as was the mottling and contrast within the nebulosity
2) Browsing around Eta Carinae with the binoscope and 11mm T6 Naglers. Not quite as immersive as the Ethoi, but the enhanced contrast makes the dark lanes really stand out
3) The major globulars are all remarkable sights (M22, 47 Tuc, Omega C). There is a moment when binocular fusion kicks in, and the objects take on a sudden illusion of depth & appear to spring out of the background sky. As you note it doesn't look this way with a binoviewer. I assume this is because in the latter case your brain is being presented with two identical images, so binocular summation does not take place in quite the same way.
