For a year now I have used a Stellarvue BV with my Sky watcher ED120 and in all honesty I could not go back to one eyed viewing. The benefits of using 2x eyes for me far outweighs one eyed viewing easily. The relaxation and viewing comfort factor alone from using 2x eyes is immense - with no eyestrain I am able for view for hours with no more squinting. For me also the loss of light was balanced by the perceived brain summation of having 2x images instead of one. The secondary benefits are also having the 'pseudo' 3D effect - which just reinforced using my BV all most all the time. I actually ‘see’ more detail with my BV esp. on planetary images. Even at 200x images are bright and very rewarding. The Moon, Saturn and Jupiter especially have that 'wow' effect.
Most of my viewing is done on bright objects admittedly and occasionally for dim DSO’s I use mono viewing. I even have used the BV occasionally with my Williams Optics 66ED esp. for lunar viewing.
I suggest you keep using for BV as the advantages will become more apparent.
