Checking the sales and it would seem that the slightly higher magnifications are usually a tad higher.
Cabela's hosts the 8x30 Conquest @ 50 clams cheaper than the 10x30. The higher mags of 12x45 & 15x45 skyrocket $350/400 over the 8x.
Yet, the Conquest in ABK 8x40 hoists a tag of 50 simoleons over the 10x40.
The Meostar 10x42 carries only a 20 spot premium over the 8x42.
CLNY gives the ABK 8x40 a price 150 bucks over the 10x40 which ironically is the same price for their ABK 8x40 demo.
The Conquest 12x45 $1049.99 whilst the 12x45 demo slides in @ $874.99.
The Conquest 15x45 is $1099.99 w/demo @ $799.99.
Why 50 clams more new and 75 less demo? Would seem an 125 dollar swing betwixt new and demo in the two models would exhibit a contradiction in terms.
The Conquest 8x30 new/demo $649/ 449, however once again the 10x30 is $699/549. What quality does the demo 10x30 possess to be twice the difference of the new prices?
No big whoop. I go w/flow and the cheaper offerings figuring I can find a spot for them as easy as I can for the other.
One little peculiarity, to me anyway, is that the Cabela's Euro is only available in 10x42 & 12x50 and the Euro HD only 10x42.
I don't notice a Meopta Meostar HD.
