I like my Orion unit I bought a couple of years back.

Am thinking about getting a second linear.

But was wondering if any mfg'er has an above average product.

AFAIK, all of the linear binoviewers are made by Long Perng, so I doubt that there’s much variability in quality from one unit to the next. Just pick the dealer that has the color you like. wink.gif

Yep, perty sure they all have the same innards, different cladding or colour theme, and different importer's brand.  But, a quick glance at any two will quickly show they're almost certain to be one and the same.
