binocular newtonian question

A question for owner/builders of binocular newtonian scopes:
Do you notice any image degradation secondary to heat from your own body radiating across the optical axis of the binoscope when the OTA is configured so that the observer is looking into eyepieces that "face" the mirrors? This configuration is the one that is offered in the JMI 6 inch binocular Newtonian.
