Hello All -
I have a pair of Swarovski 10x42 EL's - and absolutely love them. I do have a need for a higher magnification and after much research and time spent looking down the aisles of a couple stores I have my heart set on the Swarovski 15x56 SLC's. That said, I am incredibly confused by the differences in what appear to be the "older" and "newer" models, with the same names. I have read a couple blurbs in comment sections on web sites that Swarovski improved these recently...but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out which is the "better" pair.
My local store has two different styles - identical price. Can someone please help me sort out this confusion? I have uploaded some pictures to show what I am talking about - lighter green pair is Pair 1, darker green pair is Pair 2.
Pair 1: http://www.lucidsol.com/1.jpg - These are labeled 15x56 SLC WB
Pair 2: http://www.lucidsol.com/2.jpg - These are labeled 15x56 SLC NEU
They are both selling for the 60th Ann. price of $1899 (What a bargain...?)
Also - What the heck is "NEU" - I cannot find that abbreviation anywhere on the Swarovski web site?
I have tried to call several of the online resellers, but they either have no idea what I am talking about or give me answers they are clearly making up on the fly.
Thanks!
