^ What he said but I would prefer to keep the small ocular diameter & I think you could do that & have usable eye relief at the expense of a decrease in FOV.
Assuming the scope is reliable & has decent optics I would be a buyer w/either a PLEX or BDC reticle if it just had close to 3.5" of eye relief @ all power settings & it wouldn't bother me if the magnification topped out @ 8X or it weighed a couple of ounces more.
