6d Liveview tacksharp, Eyeview fuzzy

I have Canon 6d with 3 different Canon lens'.  Regardless of the lens, shutter speed, F-stop, etc. my pictures are always significantly sharper in live view than when using the "eye view" mode. (I am using wireless remote control )
In my tests I am using a tripod and test target.  In addition I have run FoCal on my lens to see if the lens are improperly calibrated.

I have even switched to manual focus after focusing the target automatically under liveview and then switching to regular eye view mode and the results are always the same.  I have also tried mirror lock up under eye view mode and still not as clear as Live view

 

 

I sent my camera in to service to be looked at, but I am at a loss of what could be causing it..

I dont see how it could be focus related because I have focused the lens on the target using Liveview/AF and then switched to Eyefocus mode with MF..

The focal point should not change between Liveview and Eyeview right??

 

Not looking for a fix,( I already sent it in to be looked at). Just looking for an logical explanation as to how they could be different..

The camera tests were done mounted on a tripod. I have a cAlibration target.   I have even switched to manual focus mode(after allowing lens to focus in Live view).  I remotely engage shutter.   

I see no reason why the results should not be Identical..
