Anyone using these binoculars?

I picked up a pair with their recent sale and have played with them a little. The color and clarity are very good.

The issue i seem to have is that there is a very narrow window where I have a clear view. The image either tunnels or I get the figure-eight shape. If I have the eye cups adjusted perfectly, it's all good but if not, it's pretty bad.

For the last several years, my primary binocular has been a vortex viper 15x50. I'm waiting for these to come back from vortex for a side-by-side comparison (sent in for cleaning). My initial impression is that the viper is lighter in weight and generally feels more usable/comfortable while the tract has a better image when adjusted perfectly.

What have your experiences been? Anything similar?
