Interesting... how does this compare to the EG-S for off-center focusing?

Hmm ... the Brightview I tested wasn't that great, but I admit I was mainly testing for the centre focus, which I found very good indeed (better than the Canon by far). I've been using rangefinders for years, so I can live with that limitation - but yes, the Canon S is better for across-the-frame focussing. That said, I still have problems in the far corners with a Canon S, but I don't know if this is a general problem with focus screens.
I believe there are thrid-party high scatter screens like the Canon S, but the Brightscreen I tested was not one of them.
