I could get away with no glass at all if all I did was stumble around and look for something to shoot. I like the ability to visually cover more ground in less time. If something catches my eye and I need a better look I can put the small spotter up. That 40% more power comes at a price and most of my glassing is hand held. Someone posted that they come in 8X. That has my interest and I’m going to check out the specs and cost. Still not 100% sure what I want to blow my bonus on next yearI could likely get away with 6x if all I did was stumble around with a bow or rifle and looked for something to shoot. But strategic glassing, finding bedded animals and trophies like mid day muleys or if sheep and tearing apart mountain sides at distance on a tripod wasn't a thing, pulling a mountain 40% closer is no joke, 6x would be just for if you enjoyed the view and weren't too serious imo. Wait till you try your 10x50's on a tripod...then wait till you put 10x32 alpha class right beside them on a tripod...yes the 10x32 is less friendly hand holding but when you're hand holding you're on the ground in range where you'll see what you need anyway, the 10x32 mounted will allow you to find so much more game than the 6x any which way, 40% more range is 40% more range, it's a big deal in this game.
