7x42 classic/7x42 FL

Hello,
This is a question for those who have had a chance to compare the Zeiss 7x42 classics and the 7x42 FL's.
I would be interested in hearing a comparison regarding optical quality, including edge sharpness, ergonomics, build quality, etc.
thank you,

jay

This question has come up before in various contexts, especially right after the FL came out, so I suggest you do a search of the threads. Here's my opinion:
