That is truly puzzling unless you were ignoring the focus aides. I still had the K10D with KatzEye when I was evaluating the the S-type and was able to compare them side-by-side on the same subjects.
I liked the S-type, I just did not find it to be more accurate for fine focus than magnified live view. I did not, however, use it with any lens faster than f/1.4
I might mention though that at f/4* the KatzEye walked all over the S-type. Still, though I would have continued to use it except for the 2-3 stop meter inaccuracy associated with the laser etched screen.
