I have had Conquest HD, Trinovid HD, Leupold HD Guides and SLC HD from a personal standpoint. The SLC's are hands down better. I would personally say these are 92-95% of an SLC in overall view. I am not one to get caught up on armor, ergonomics, etc....I am looking for a clear, crisp view with no eye strain.
These MeoPro Air's are like my Meopta scopes.
Image quality is better than the Conquest HD line, the resolution is close, I think its the lens 'hue' that makes the difference
Crisper than the Trinovid HD (although I personally like the Leica hue/contrast in the Noctivids over the EL's)
Better in Every Category than the Leupold HD Guides
Very good mid tier bino and I plan to use them this fall unless I find a stellar deal on some Notivids or Pure's which would then prompt me to sell them to help with offset that purchase.
