Bob,
Thanks for sharing the observation. Trading off a bit of optical punch for convenience is a compromise at the heart of binocular selection, and no great evil. I still hope you will give us some kind of daytime comparison between the two 7x50s, and comment on CA and edge of field sharpness.
With apologies to those who have already sat through this little spiel, I made my IFs much more convenient to focus, by attaching a flexible metal band across the tops of the eyepieces in a kind of belt drive. Not as slick as a CF knob, but it is enough improvement to make a very powerful and relatively handy low-light tool.
