Swaro eyepiece choice- 20-60 vs 25-50W ATS/STS 65mm HD?

[Wrongside]

Rokslide,

I tried searching this topic under a few different parameters with not much luck.

I’m in the market for a better, lighter spotter for backpack elk and sheep hunting. Pretty much settled on the Swaro STS 65 HD as best balance of budget & performance. The Kowas are way pricey up here north of the 49th.

My question- is there a consensus on which eyepiece is the nicest to use? I usually prefer eyebox and FoV over every last X of magnification, so wondering about the harder to find 25-50 W.

I've had both and once I got the 25-50W the 20-60 got sold.

25-50 is nice for the added FOV, but some people complain about kidney beaning. I didn't notice it near as much with the 20-60. That being said, I have the 25-50.
