Good shooting "form" will make up for a little less eye relief.

The only time it becomes a real concern is on sharp angled shots uphill or downhill with larger calibers.

I know the light transmission on my Omega is VERY good and that new XR is supposed to be even better.

I agree that shooing at a "target" with 25' FOV at 100 yards should not be a problem, if it is a clear shot to the target and there is little movement. Take that same target and put it in the woods with heavy brush, maybe add a few other targets (meaning several deer) and have them moving over varied terrain and a larger FOV is a definite advantage. It's just a trade-off.
