leica 10x50 HD Plus vs Swarovision 10x50 (2 Viewers)

What puts the 8x Noctivid in a different league than the 10x? I've been considering the 10x Noctivid for a while, because I prefer birding with my Celestron trailseeker 10x42 over my 8x42.

.. I really need to find a place where I can side-by-side the Noctivids and the Swaros, so see if I can really notice the warmth. The Noctivids definitely blew away my Celetron Trailseekers, despite a pretty convincingly written review saying that the Trailseekers are one of the best, and that the reviewer would happily replace his Leica Ultravids with it.

I was also wondering about that statement.

A Leica rep told be that the 3D aspects were more noticeable in the 8X ompared to the 10X so maybe that is the difference. There are several posts from members saying there is a noticeable increase in 3D with the Noctivid but then there are those like me who do not see a difference. The 3D looked good to me in both of the Noctivid models along with the other brands. I do not know why some see a difference and some do not.

The best place to compare is at an expo. The American Birding Expo 2017 is coming up the end of September in PA, so that may work for you if you are up for a long day.
