The Radians all have a very long 20mm of eye relief and a fairly wide eye lens and they all are very comfortable/easy to observe with. However,some users do not care for their click stop eyeguards.

The newer high power Type 6 Naglers are also a big improvement (with respect to eye relief and the size of their eye lens over the older 4.8mm Type 1 Nagler). I just got the 2.5mm, 3.5mm & 5mm Type 6 Naglers and I'm very pleased with them.

I do not have any experience using any of the higher power Pentax eyepieces.

Pentax has the same 20mm eye relief as Radians plus an adjustable eyecup that is smooth vs. click-stop. Lens opening is wide and similar to Radians. I am referring to the XL's and their newer XW replacement.
