The Swift is very compact,I think i remember the Monarch to be a tad larger,but i am not sure..
The Vortex seems like a nice deal,although Image quality has to match that of the Eaglet, to be consider a better value,..The Katmai,for instance,has been reviewed as a very good binoculars,with excellent resolution and image quality..but compared with the Eaglet ,the Eaglet is better..is Sharper and has better edge performance..Also,I took the ZEN ED to the Studio today,and measured the FOV against the same wall that i used to measure the Eaglet FOV.
I used the same marks that i used for the Eaglet,(i recorded the Eaglet FOV with tape on the wall)..VERY LITTLE more is Shown in the ZEN FOV,perhaps 2.5 inches past the mark of the Eaglet FOV..
This comparison confirms the FOV of the Eaglet to be 400+feet at 1000 yards..I wonder if they (Swift) assume that the new model has the same FOV of the older model,and are using the old specifications for the CFP version....
