Although I use slide film, I don't mount the slides much (it's hard to get
an audience and I hate to set it up just for myself). I have them usualy
scanned or printed using Frontier lab, where full-format IS possible (more
like 98%).
And ALL pro-labs here offer (and do it most of the time!) FULL-FORMAT
option on the prints - with parts of the negative margins visible. Hell,
even some CONSUMER minilabs offer this (although it gets rarely asken for).
So I do see a reason for 100% (or 98%) finders. And even 92% finder is much
more than you get from standard 8x10" prints - that's 4:5 while neg is 2:3
ratio!!!
