Very cool. Would you get more of a 3D sort of view through them since you are using both eyes?

Its the same basic style, but a lot heavier.

Theres a lot of bulky `infrastructure' there that is attributable to the percieved need to have two seperate tubes which we've shown to be unnecessary.

Exactly - it's overly heavy & complex to do it this way. But I like the concept of "tweak time" they have on the web page.
