Default RE: Cabelas Euro?

I have checked out the Cabela's Ero Binoculars. They are top drawer quality. They are made in Czech Republic by Meopta. Meopta has been on bis since well before WWII and are known for high quality optics including Camera lenses, enlargers, medical optical equipment, spotting scopes and most recently, scopes and binos.
The view is the closest thing to the big 3 (Leica, Swarovski, Zeiss) you can get without spending 1300 to 1800 bucks. I was blown away by the clarity and brightness. Ergonomics are good and Meopta is known for build quality. The only thing I have against the Cabela's Euros is that they have rather short eye relief (16 or 17MM I think) so I can't use them withmy glasses on. I need the meopta 8x42 which have 20mm of eye relief, or I would have already bought the Cabela's
