Does anyone know if the optics on RF binoculars are as good as non RF? The prices on ultravids are very close to the prices on geovids, for example. Same with Zeiss RF and non RF.

I've had both and the Leica has much better color as well as being brighter.
I currently have a 8X56 and it is almost too bright? It a great binocular for 1/2 hour before or after sunset to glass those muleys bedding down in the rimrocks as well as elk lying down in the shade at the base of a tree.
