I don't suppose anyone has done a direct comparison of these two models- I am mainly interested in what benefit the DBAs have over the BGA SEs?
The reason: I recently visited my local camera/binocular shop and came away happy with a set of Hawkes (after the limited testing outside the shop), but once using them (in my normal environment) I discovered that they don't satisfy (from my limited knowlege I think my 'issue' is poor contrast when there is a bright background, but I may have the wrong terminology [shrug]).
So, I have spoken to the shop and they have agreed to credit against a higher spec pair.
I have asked them to get a pair of the new BGA SEs and a pair of DBAs I will then chose one of them - opted for Opticrons because I have one of their scopes which I am happy with - I will try to persuade them to let me take both pairs for a couple of hours before deciding, but it would be useful to be aware of where the differences are so that I can test accordingly.
