So I currently have some Swarovision EL 10x42s. I've had them for maybe 4 years and I love them. Zero complaints. Before I owned them I'd had some Vortex Viper HD, Zeiss Conquest, Meoptas, and a few others. None of them were really put to heavy use though, only some antelope hunts. I use the Swaros all the time so they've seen a lot more use than those others. I have a ton of money in gear and pretty much everything I have for hunting is top end stuff. I've slowly worked my way up from entry level stuff to where I am today.
But every time I read about all these other great binos on the market for less money, I wonder if I really NEED my ELs. There's several really nice options for a lot less money that will pretty much handle 99.9% of what I'd use them for.
So, has anyone every had the alpha glass and then went to a cheaper option? Were you just as happy? I've been giving those Nikon Monarch HGs a pretty hard look.
