Elan 7E Viewfinder Coverage

I was thinking of buying a Canon Elan 7E as I'd like a compact SLR for biking. I have a pretty complete Canon system so I'd like to stay in the EOS family. I played with an Elan 7 at a Canon expo in Honolulu and thought the viewfinder image might be a little smaller than my EOS 3 & A2.
Recently, I read the Elan 7E review in the April Popular Photography. The specs in the article indicate 82% viewfinder coverage of the frame. Is this a misprint? Isn't it more likely to be 92% or 90%? My A2 has 92/94% coverage but I sometimes find small surprises on the edges of my chromes that weren't visible in the viewfinder, so 82% would be suckie.
Anyone using this camera?
Thanks
