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.

Hate to say it Hubby11, but if you can't get on target with 25 feet FOV at 100yds then you seriously need to get out and practice target acquisition. I have no problems at all with the longer eye relief FOV reduction. Snap right on to target with ease. 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.
