I have 8x32 DCF-WPs that have served me well. The only thing about them I dislike are the cheesy pull up eyecups. Since the WP series has been eclipsed by first the SP and now the ED series, I've been considering replacing them with a more current pair. That said I've read where several authorities (e.g. Barsness, etc.) have indicated that there wasn't a great gain in optics quality going from the WP to SP series. Rather the gains were in the hardness quality of the coatings. Personally I've no clue as I haven't had the opportunity to audition the SP line let alone the ED.
There are other brands out there too which appear worthy. The Minox HG 8x33s seem to garner impressive reviews. At any rate I'd appreciate hearing recommendations. If you've had past experience with the DCF-WP line, so much the better
Thanks
