I got sick of searching for all the information that I needed. Here are the comparisons

nice thanks for compiling. I didn't realize how much shorter the 525 was. I love my 624s and that longer tube is better IMO for positional work where we are using that objective to balance things out.
 
Thanks @CSTactical. I ended up picking one up off a friend that ordered multiple. No one seemed to be sure on the specs though and which accessories will fit from the 624. These specs came directly from Kahles. This helped me to understand the major differences. @arm017 I love my 624 Gen 3 too. I won't be getting rid of that one. Love the SKMR3 reticle. I just got rid of my Gen2 624 because I wanted to have my reticles matching on both of my rifles. I honestly like the Gen2 parallax knurled knob better though.

how is the eyebox and FOV in 624 vs. 525 - that has been one of my favorite features of the 624 is how it feels like i am watching on a bigger screen because of its short eye relief and large FOV.
 
I recently bought a 6x24, solely because I felt more comfortable with the eye box than the 5x25. The extra 1 power of top end makes no difference to me.
This is just my opinion, and my eyes. fwiw

yep - i noticed that same thing looking through friends' 525s, and assumed it just wasn't set up perfectly to my eye. But I'm glad you noticed that too.
