I'm dipping my feet into understanding Binoculars better, eventually I am going to buy Swaros. Understanding that FOV is king with Binos, if I am getting top tier glass is there any reason to not get the 32mm instead of the 42mm. looks like the FOV is basically the same. I know the light transmission will be better with the 42mm but with top tier glass is there a meaningful difference? I am not a hard core back country hunter, I usually hunt Mulies, whitetail, and elk each year, but they will actually be used for scouting for waterfowl more than big game hunting, I will big scouting tens of thousands of acres at a time so good optics are nice.

Look forward to all your opinions and diatribes
