Vortex UHD or Swaro NL?
I had a pair of Swaro SLC 8x32 for many years and absolutely loved them.
After I lost them I bought a pair of Vortex Razor HD 10x42. The glass is pretty good but if I'm being honest I bought them for the Vortex warranty because I can be pretty hard on gear and the Vortex no-fault no-receipt warranty has saved me a lot of money over the years.
I'm ready to upgrade and am wrestling with the new Vortex UHD (and Vortex warranty) or the Swaro NL. Either one will be 10x42. I've thought pretty serious about dropping back down to 8x32 just for the lightness/form factor but I think I'll stick with the higher magnification.
I looked at both at Cabelas in Abbotsford but it is really hard to judge binoculars in a store.
Has anybody used the Vortex UHD in the field or, even better, compared them to an alpha glass like Swaro or Zeiss?
