Interesting link Shim.
I have the Pentax one - works pretty well. My observations are as follows:
1) Vignetting when using specs. Fairly acceptable, but find you have to slightly move your head to see the viewfinder indicators properly
2) Fogs up in the rain! Found this out when using the DA*50-135 & K20D in the pouring rain.
It's one of those accessories that I like on some days and not on others (Fickle person that I am )

I use the Pentax O-ME53 and wouldn't go back to the standard Eyecup.
I don't wear glasses when photographing and haven't had any problems with it fogging up, it must be your hot steamy breath Matt
Its always on the camera and great for manual focusing when doing macro
The KPS eyecup looks interesting, never heard of it before.

Got the Pentax EyeCup, works good for me, not dramatically closer as I thought it wd be, but def much better and I wont be taking it off!
I have used it with sunglasses on with no probs but better without, it is also nicer as I dont have such a greasy LCD screen anynore from my nose!
