"The EL SV feels like a dinosaur in comparison". I am wondering if you have much experience with binoculars at all.
The word dinosaur is powerful.

Fazal likely meant it not so literally, but I have to agree with him in a way.
To me, the EL indeed feels a bit old fashioned and outdated (no offence) in comparison with the NL.
Not saying that the EL is bad in that regard, but it definitely feels a bit chubby in comparison.
