Wes, I have the 100mm binoculars and have found them to be really good and very easy to use. You can observe overhead for hours if necessary you never get neck ache. Mine came with the x20, x30 and x37 and all fit nice and tight. You should see both exit pupils to be both round and just watch the finish on the binoculars when you come to mount them don’t catch the sides on the fork mount. I also got a pair of white gloves and a white bag the bag can be useful but watch the handling if you wear the gloves, the binoculars have an extremely smooth finish and they can slip. The overall view is pretty good and collimation for mine was also spot on, and like you said the colour aberration is not bad at all. These are definitely keepers for me and would recommend them to anyone who does binocular astronomy.
