And I'd just add to that: 'and once you've got it, don't look at any more reviews or new releases!'

PS: what did you buy in the end?

If you like the Swaro I can`t think of a good reason to look at the Zeiss, but the same goes if you already liked the Zeiss, both excellent, but like Chuck and Mark, I prefer the Swaro.

They're both great binos. I'd be happy with either one. I like the FL a tiny bit better. I like the compact size, great clean image (barely any CA) and the really nice smooth, fast focus with huge focus wheel. I think I prefer more traditional binoculars and the designs of the older alpha models like FL and Ultravid. But, the SV is better ergonomically and is a more luxurious binocular. I could be super happy with the SV as well.

Sounds like you may already know which one you prefer, but just covering all bases. Can't imagine you won't like the SV, but the FL is worth trying if you get the chance.

I have sold my EL SV 8x32 and bought the zeiss Victory 8x32 T FL. The Swaro had too much glare and for me that was unaceptable. Also the Swaro’s colors were unsaturated. The FOV was all in focus but the rolling ball effect was too much and the Zeiss is more relaxed. And the Zeiss is more compact.
Waiting for the Noctivid 8x32.
