I'm considering a new scope and would like to hear others views. The contenders are Leica 82mm, Kowa 883 or the Swarovski ATX 85. I currently have a Leica APO 77 that is still good but I've been drawn into wanting a zoom and I only have the 32x eyepiece. But I love the view through the Televid. I am however slightly put off another Leica given recent (ish) bad comments regarding customer care.
Never owned a Kowa so no idea on build quality or after sales.
I've experienced the ATX briefly and it converted me from a barrel focus hater to nearly a lover, and I have experienced the Swarovski after sales so know how good that is.
So, given a choice between those three what would you choose and why?
