Stop worrying and buy the M8. ?If the frame lines really bother you, then you can have the M8 updated for the new set. ?Or buy the M8.2. ?They are recalibrated for distance, rather than close up as originally designed. ?I personally could not care less, and will not update my M8 for this trivial change (IMHO), I never use the frame lines for critical framing anyway. ?If I want critical framing, I get my R8/DMR out and use it, close enough.
