Thanks, Im not really a roof prism type.

I might check out some Bushnell Excursion 8x28 and some Nikon Sporter 8x36.

The reviews are favorable but they are both roofs...

Jenoptems are next on my list to acquire 8x30w and 10x30w, with MCs. Maybe some Nikon E and E2, Mirkons. Celestron Nova's. More Swift's.

There seems to be an explosion is decent roof prisms....Chinese and Eastern European glass is really expanding the market. Its almost overwhelming.
