What does the new NL Pure line have that the EL line doesn't have.
I had a pair of the EL in 10 x 42 and didn't think a pair of binocs could get much better. Now for a thousand bucks more swarovski says you can get better.
How?

The reviews I have read seem to point to two differences, greater field of view and the comfort of handling(ergonomics). I have read several reviews and I cannot recall anyone claiming better optics.

Are Swarovski's really worth the hype?

Personally, I think so. Never had clearer devices.

I am a binocular junky. There, I have said it. IMHO there is nothing out there that surpasses the Swarovski EL's/NL's. I do believe, at least for my eyes, that Leica Ultravid's are slightly superior for looking toward the sun into shadows.

They are not worth the hype but they are worth the glass! IF you haven't hunted with Swarovski's or another premium optic you'll never know. I too am a glass junkie.
