[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2750839, member: 12443"] Well i wont comment on any ive never looked thru, and ive never looked thru either of those. I will pass along what others i trust might think however. Point is that if you place them side by side on the same day looking at the same things, you just might have a mind change about spending twice the amount of money for the small differences you might find. Assuming you find them. Color will as a rule be at least slightly different between different ones. For a bird watcher that will be a big issue, but for a hunter not so much. For a person who might be locked in on having angle viewing as opposed to straight thru, the Kowa Highlander glasses would be worth strong consideration. They only weigh about 14 # and are binoculars, not spotters in a bracket. They have 80 mm objectives and although they come standard with 32 power eyepieces, they can be swapped out for 20s as well or i believe 50s also. I have spent lots of time looking thru them as a late friend owned a set. When he died i sold them for his wife to a man in know for $3200. He sat in the yard of our camp for several hours comparing them with his sons 80 mm Swaro spotters in a bracket. He did prefer angles for the places he hunted, but non the less he wanted good quality as well. [/QUOTE]
