I wanted to upgrade to an ed type scope from my old TSN 661.
The place I shop lists the 663 (angled ED) for 899.00 and the 773 angled for 1599.00.
I'm wondering - is the 773 worth an extra 700.00?
On another thread someone mentioned that the 773 would allow me to get a better eyepiece and that the scopes have the same type ED (or XD?) glass (not the true flourite of the 80mm)
So the eye piece is a plus
Larger aperature is a plus
Other pro's and cons consider the significant difference in price?
Oh and on a thread there was also an off hand comment regarding 'the new scopes' is there some new big jump in scopes coming?
