When other objects are also in the microprism that are beyond
the desired depth of field it can be distracting. The split-image
can be helpful in this instance but it requires aligning two halves
of an image - not easy with some subjects.
Also if you wear glasses positioning your eye in the center
can be difficult with either the microprism or split-image. I
find them about equal.
Good luck,
