Splurged

I tested my 8.5 ELs next to the 8x42 HD SLC in my local Cabelas for about an hour. The only difference other than ergonomics was edge clarity for the ELs. This was only noticed when looking at price tags at about 20 yards. In other words, no discernible difference when used in real world hunting conditions. If I had not bought my ELs for marginally more than the SLC (got them as a demo unit) I would have the SLCs in a heartbeat. You can't go wrong with your choice!
 
So I guess they made you buy em, after you splurged on em huh?:D seriously, I have nikon monarchs and really look forward to moving up like you did congrats.
