I'd sure like to peer through a pair of those HD binox, and compare them to some other high end binox.
I know the HD glass in the Swaro ATS 80HD Spotter is stellar, but haven't done a side by side compare with any other spotters.
I think we are the benefactors of some REALLY fine optics today.

Yeah, but I hate it when Swarovski does this kind of thing.

It always happens right after I have spent US$1,XXX (which nowadays is very close to US$2,XXX) on one of their binos or scopes.

I barely have it out of the box when it's no longer cutting edge, but instead has been superseded by the latest and greatest. Mad Wink

Get a Vortex Razor and you will be hard pressed to see much, if any difference. For the money involved, it won't matter If Swaro or Leica or whover brings out something new next year.

My Razors are so close to the Leica Geovid that the only real difference is the rangefinder in the Leica.

You get exactly what you pay for...whether its glass or ass! There ain't no free rides.

If a $700 pr of binocs or a $700 scope were every bit as good as those costing $1800, why would anyone sell them for $700?

1) well, the old binos are not worthless!
2) this now happened after nearly 10 years of sucessfull EL manufacturing
3) the new one is not available yet!
4) I have also bought due to need an "old" 8,5x42 EL and I am very very happy with it!!!
5) You get the "old" (but only available for at least another year) EL for with good discounts: 15% : http://www.titanium-gunworks.d...ski-el-85x42-wb.html
