I bought my MX with a split image screen, and I like it in most situations. I'm not sure I could focus properly with a plain screen because I have a short sight (I'm not sure if it's good English). I think it's too big for correct focus, but too small to use a diopter correction (I need +0.5 diopter in each eye). I hate shooting in glasses. Lukasz
