That extra real estate in FOV is worth it's weight in gold to me. I would carry a WX if it didn't weigh 5 pounds. When I go from 450 feet to 420 feet, I get claustrophobic. I LOVE a big FOV with a flat field and tack sharp edges, and the bigger, the better!But keep in mind,...that for these bins...a lesser FOV is really not that much. In fact the Meostar's shine in near 420 feet, which is just great. I know the Swaros (450 Feet) and SF's (466 feet) are higher but one has to ask, how high is high? When does the 420 foot FOV Meostar somewhat equal the 'need' a person actually can use? Look at the price difference. Even at full price of near $929 (Sports Optics), the Swaro's and SF's are 2.5+ (Swaro at $2769 and SF at $2450) times the $. Is that worth it? That amounts to an extra $60 a 'FOV foot" for the Swaro and $51 for the SF.
And if FOV is that important to you, think of the bargain you are getting with the Meostar over the Ultravid...FOV and price. jim
