700D & 750D viewfinders

Hi

This is my first DSLR experience so hopefully I'm explaining things enough for you to understand me.

I was able to play around with the 700D & 750D yesterday. Really like them both and would pick the 750D but I found that looking through the viewfinder I wasn't able to see the top and bottom of the viewfinder at the same time without maneuvering the camera. When I could see the bottom including the green digits at the bottom I couldn't see the top of the viewfinder, so the top of the image I was looking at was cut off until I maneuvered the camera again. With the 700D I didn't have this problem. I could see the whole viewfinder and just needed to look down to see the green digits.

I did notice that each camera had a different eyecup in fact while in the shop I thought that there wasn't a eyecup on the 700D so I tried putting the one from the 750D onto it but it wouldn't fit. I've since looked online and I'm sure now that it did have one fitted, but I can't find anything that looks like the one on that particular 700D. Could the eyepiece be the reason as I do wear glasses or is the viewfinder smaller on the 750D which I've read, but thought it was more to do with the magnification?

Thank you
