that is how i am leaning too. how much reach do you get? was eye relief a big concern? i see there is a one inch difference. not sure of that is a lot or not. is eye relief mainly for recoil only?

i don't have an issue with the eye releif but it is a 22, I might not want that on a big caliber rifle.

In theory it sure should, by allowing more light in. But without head to head real world testing.. Who knows! The larger the glass the more expensive and hard it is to manufacture.
