The 17 has plenty, even enough to wear glasses if you need them, but the ER is tight on the 16. Some folks like to cram their eyeballs into an EP and some don't. FWIW, I find the 17 is more immersive, giving more of the impression of being in space rather than the impression of looking into an EP. But that is very subjective...
