Maven S.1a worth the weight?

[GoatBoat218]

Pretty close to pulling the trigger on the maven spotter, my only bug with it is that it weights 4 pounds and only has a 20x50 zoom. Seems like most other scopes over 4 pounds have about a 65 zoom such as the vortex razor 27-65x85 (same weight) and others. Kinda seems like maven products are a bit on the heavy side. I am weighting the few extra ounces doesn't really matter vs ounces equal pounds pounds equal pain thing. Any thoughts or recommendations help.

How often are you going to be using it at 65..... I have ran both of those spotters in the past.... The Maven will get you a larger clearer picture with its WA at 50. Your 65 with the razor or any spotter really isn't the best view and you rarely use it at full power. There is a reason that a lot of swaro guys use the 25-50 WA eyepieces.

That is what I was thinking, thanks for the input.
