I recently bought a grey market ED 50 with the MC2 eyepiece and am extremely happy with it. I am eyeing used ED82s on EBay for less than $1000 as I want to add an ~80mm spotter to the arsenal. I realize that these older designed Nikon spotters, while optically great do not take advantage of modern wide angle eyepieces.
Is that a huge deal? Should I be looking for a more modern scope? I could stretch to the $2k price range but would love to stay at $1k if possible. Just wondering how much the newer wide angle scopes are an improvement over last generation scopes.
