Higher PPD is good, but with the lower FoV it's going to feel like you're looking at your computer screen through binoculars.

The MeganeX I believe is using the Kopin P95 optics. 95 degree diagonal FOV should be roughly similar to the CV1. Slightly less immersive than the latest headsets, but for virtual workspaces should still be fine. Remember, that the normal hFOV when looking at 32" display from 2ft away is 60 degrees (27" display is closer to 50 degrees). Due to center sharpness dropoff for most HMD optics, you will mostly be ignoring the edges anyway.
