Well, just to update you all, I went with two tanto housings, and the NVB58 bridge. I got everything put together this weekend and I have to say, I'm happy with the decision. I really like the tanto housings. They're very light and seem really well made. They went together with no issues. I also like the NVB58 bridge. It comes with two sets of articulating arms, one that pans and one that doesn't. The finish matches the tanto housing perfectly. With carson glass and two cr123 batteries, the whole thing weighs 22.2 ounces. That's just a hair over my target weight of 20 ounces, but I'll deal with it. When I first put the rig together with the panning arms, I got a pretty bad double image and was searching on how to collimate them. Then, just for the hell of it, I reversed the tanto monoculars on the bridge and the double vision vanished. I'm never that lucky, but it happened. So far I like the panning image very much. If I get headaches or fatigue, I'll swap out the straight arms on the bridge.
Thanks to all that gave me some input. Going in, I really didn't think I would choose this setup. That being said, I'm a happy camper and it all worked out.
