Let me put it this way. If you choose one. You won't be satisfied until you have the other. As I interpret your question. It's a tough call. As for myself I use a Leupold Gold Ring 12-40 Spotter. Wish at times I had a set of binoculars instead. But my pockets aren't deep enough for my wish of a swarovski el range 8x42 w b. Who know's maybe some day I'll win the lottery. First thing on my >Need to buy list. swarovski's ~~Yup!!_
