Has anyone had both at roughly the same time? I was just wondering if the Vipers were worth the extra money.
I know that the odds of most people owning multiple pairs of 6x bins are pretty low.
I would expect the Vipers to have a better build quality and perhaps more pop and contrast to the image. I would also expect field curvature to be higher than most other bins, for the eye relief to be really long, and for a pure 6x to be just a bit shy of what several people want in their binoculars power wise (summarizing what I have read).
I would expect the MeoPros to be excellent for the money with a with a larger field of view than the Vipers and a slight bit more magnification to boot but with lesser edge quality and less overall "wow" about them ( again impressions from reading).
Does excellent for the money make them equal to the Vipers? That is essentially what I am hoping to get opinions on.
Thanks
