Nikon Prostaff 5 16-48x60 Spotting Scope

Can't find much info on this model. Wondering how this compares to the Vortex Diamondback? I'd love to hear from anyone that's spent some time with the Nikon.

I have an older one and I like it a lot. It's a nice jack of all trades spotter. Not too big, pretty light for it's class, more than good enough optics for me, cheap (i picked my up used for $180), enough mag power to be very versatile.

I picked up an ED50 this year, the only reason is I got a good deal on it and I want to drop a bit more pack weight for solo back country deer hunting.

I have never been behind a Diamondback so I can't compare, sorry.
