No on the epoxy bedding. I thought about it, but didn't ever find the time to do it and it has been fine for 5 years now with the same Swaro X5 sitting on it.
If you want the Zeiss Conquests at your $1500 mark you can get a "demo" model from Red Hawk. Much like Europtic the "demo" designation allows them to sell below MAP. I bought a pair of the 15's two years ago from them, but honestly haven't even had a chance to take them out. That being said I...

Good question and I don't think it is completely clear. You could view it as being written from a 1'st choice perspective where someone burned their points to draw a tag. However the way it is written does make it sound like you would lose your point that you gained from 1'st choice whenever...
