Former "Crucan and Deming-ite?  No longer in the area, so I can't loan you optics.
I've owned a ton of the "Mid Tier" optics tho.  Still own Meopta 12s for an All Around western glassing from tripod.  Pretty big fan.  Still own a 10X42 HD that I've wanted to move for a few year.  Nice, clear, sharp, etc.  Just don't fit into my system.  A bit dark image at twilight compared to other optics.
Do own the big 82mm spotter.  Very nice.
I've swapped a bunch to Maven.  I am very impressed with Maven for mid tier and Bang for Buck.   I pick Maven over comparable Meopta optics.
My hunting partner has 65mm Maven spotter.  I have 65mm Swaro HD spotter.  I would pick the Maven and I've run both side by side for several days.
FWIW
