I'm lucky enough to have both eyes behaving perfectly, as are the kids, so we can leave it at the standard position, my partner had to adjust for one eye.
It was amazing the difference in each person's night vision too. My daughter and I walked back outside and straight up to the scope, as we could see it all clearly in the reasonably dark back yard. My partner and her two daughters couldn't even see the scope for about 5 minutes, and couldn't even tell if someone was standing near it. I had to go back inside and get the red LED torch out to guide them to the eyepieces.
I remember as a boy envying Arthur C Clarke's binoviewer setup and thinking that if I ever got super wealthy that it would be they way to go. At the time the cheapest solution with a pair of eyepieces was well over a grand. I was stoked so many years later to be able to do the same for a fraction of the price.
That was pretty much my view of the WO binos, that at the price they are worth it even if you just look at the moon, or want to let others have a gander at the moon and planets through your scope. Much more enjoyable for kids and people not used to peering with one eye, and a different, and more comfortable feeling and much less strain working with two eyes. For the price with eyepieces included, I am very happy.
