Which seems better to your eyes, these Kowa genesis 8x33, Meopta Meostar 8x32, Meopta Meopro HD? Thanks Expert Answer

All of these options have great clarity, but the Kowa has less distortion which gives is the slight edge.

Is there any difference between the eyecups on the Genesis 8x33 and the new BD2 XD 8x32? The BD2 eyecups fit perfectly but looking in $1K range.

The Genesis and BD II XD are going to share a lot of details and features in the glass, Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism Lens, Coatings, and twist-up eyecups. Where the Genesis sets itself apart in being a superior product is in the Phase Coating on the Schmidt-Pechan Roof Prism that greatly enhances the contrast of what you're seeing.
