Swaro EL HD 10x42 it is...
Started out comparing the conquest HD, Razor, trinovid and to my eyes the best buy would be the zeiss. Also the cheapest of the 3.. Jumped up to the swaro SLC, great glass and worth the extra $. Wasn't crazy about the zeiss victory or Geovid HD-R, bulky and didn't seem much better on the eyes than the SLC. Ultravid is nice glass but prefer the feel, ergonomics and eyecups of the EL, optically comparable. Should be noted that this is purely my opinion while looking through them in less than desireable hot/sunny conditions and no low light to compare brightness. No offense to others that have the other products, can't really go wrong with any of them I bet. I'm happy with the Swaro's, my top end pick with the conquest HD being my pick for mid range.
Can't wait to get into the mountains. Thanks for all the input.
Cheers
