I guess I better take my helmet off...I'm having trouble seeing this one.

luke already covered it, but i honestly do not see the need for a wider field of vision. what do you need to see with your peripheral vision while you are tracking a pitch? nothing. uh oh, i didnt see the kid in the on deck circle make a face at me. im not really worried about that.

the vertical height between bars being larger is a good point, ill take that one, but the wider field of vision i do not see the need for at all.
