My impression of the MK6 was stellar as well. Gathered light as well as my K16i at dusk. I compared them head to head one in each hand. My 1-4 NXS gathered light well, but had a LOT of what I term chromatic abberation, which I define as "purple haze around any sharp edges". The K16i has this too, but less so. The MK6 was almost absent this abberation. No hands on with the steiner.
I am leaning hard toward the NX8 due to footprint, though. You can always use it at 6x on bad days for the exit pupil (yay FFP), or 8x on sunny days from the bench, which I enjoy, too.
