I have absolutely no brand loyalty, and the HT is a binocular I would also like to see.
Some have said it is great, some have been underwhelmed. Same goes for the SV. You still need to try one before knowing much of anything.
Not reading minds but you will get opinions all over the map when the only opinion you need will be with your own two eyes.
I have an HT, and opinions vary - some of which seemed to think it was a bit of an upgrade from the FL. I'm glad I didn't take those to heart as my eyes find the HT to be a big step up from anything previous, even the vaunted / revered / deified SV series. Of course, you may not see it that way........and that's the point. I don't think you will ever get consensus - the SF will have the greater FOV, the SV sharper to the edge.....the rest will be personal preference, ergo's, brand cachet etc., all things that are entirely individual.
I have given up on commenting much here, as it has all boiled down to brand loyalty [for some...maybe me to some extent, making me a less than neutral observer] and personal preference of attributes. To some sharp edges are meaningless - to others they are the holy grail. One binocular will never be the final, ultimate answer when wants and needs are so personal and variable.
