Hi, Stevoid-
Yes, I would love to have a pair of the 100's... I recently learned they were made by the same factory producing these, however they're not being imported into the US. Spoke to Zach about them, apparently they're not happy enough with the quality of them to take that line on. Sure would love to have a good pair, though... or- as I said- I have the 20x110's- consider the optical quality of them to be very, very good... would love to have those optics in a RA bino! Viewing Nirvana!
Have already realized the finish will be delicate- especially as snug a fit as they are on the mount I have... but once on, the match is wonderful, as the Helix mount is really smooth and solid. I think, for me- the answer is to leave everything together on the tripod- cover it with a towel, so when I want to use it- it's ready to go. Yes- the gloves- on the glass smooth finish- BAD COMBINATION!! 
Yes- Amy's the one who turned me on to the 16x eyepieces at Orion... think I'll order a pair. The dimensions are the same, as I'm sure the bino's are (only with Garrett's better QA process), so I'm sure they'll be a welcome addition. The case even comes with 3 sets of holes for eyepieces... so obviously they planned on 3 sets at the factory.
Wes
