User jremmons has some EL 8x32 Sv for $1400 on birdforum and archery talk.
I have a pair and really like them. Good ergonomics great performance.
I haven't had the 8x30 SLC, but did have 7x30 (I sold them, now back for sell here)). Same body. Tough to beat for the price. A little more compact than the EL.
One ergonomic thing on the SLC is the focus is toward front and not with the index finger like most.
I'm not sure who makes a 8x30 that competes with SLC for price and performance, maybe the new Maven.
The EL is truly a best in class in the 8x32 format. I haven't looked at an Ultravid HD+ that should compete with it, but if you snag the pair I referenced above I don't know how you can go wrong.
I've read complaints about glare in the 8x32 EL SV, but I haven't been able to recreate it.
