Discounted Leica Geovid R vs discounted Maven B1.2- optical quality?

[WYcoyote]

Any first-hand insight on the newer 8/10x40 GPO Rangeguides, specifically in regards to the optical quality?

The weight specification makes them an attractive choice… but only if there isn’t a significant compromise in optical quality as compared to the Geovid R’s.

I tried a late evening low light test between my GPO 8x40 Rangeguides and my Zeiss Victory 7x42 T* FL's and it was as near a dead heat as you could get, with maybe the slightest perceptible edge to the Zeiss.

I was also considering the Geovid R's, but I was very impressed with the GPO's, love the small size and weight with no blue tint. I'm going to run with them after this comparison.
