I have a swan 9mm, they are ok(better than standard ep's),but i prefer the spl 6mm i bought - better eye relief, and I know the fov is smaller 70- cf 55 but i think it suits me(the spl) a lot better, i don't like looking arund the ep'sfov.
much prefer the comfort of long ER.
I hear the 15mm & 20mm swan's are better than the 9mm.
of the spl's I think the 6mm or 12mm are the best choices.

if you are talking about the 9mm swan, about the outer 10-15%loses sharpnesss, the 6mm spl is slightly better, only the very edge loses sharpness in my opinion.
