If nothing else, this indicates that there ARE a number of people who 'really' want to get into binocular stargazing BUT are not able to/not willing to invest alot of hard earned cash.
I am thankful for the CN binoculars forum where folks can get together and express the "pros and cons" of any given product, then make their own decisions as to whether or not they want to take a chance.
Over the years people have taken chances on more expensive items such the Chevette, the Pinto, the Vega, and even the notorious Yugo.
Such is life on the planet Earth.
