This thread was never intended to be a mine's better than yours topic.I don't need validation by scouring the internet for quotes or reviews to give me assurance that I got the best bins, I'm happy to read any information be it positive or negative as long the intention is constructive. At the end of the day what the user is happy with matters most.Regarding internet reviews, Allbinos just gave the 8x32 a glowing one and I tend to agree with their findings. I'm also sure that when they get to the SV it will surely be positive also.If we focus on reviews I recently read one declaring that the 8x32 SV doesn't stack up next to the 8.5x42 and that the latter is far superior, the site was called the Greatestbinoculars or something similar? I'm unaware of the reviewer's credentials but that is the opinion he gave. While it wouldn't sway me from buying a pair if I was interested in them I just thought it was an interesting point to add in relation to internet review quotes.Perhaps I'm stirring the pot a little now so I won't revisit that topic going forward.On the topic of glare control I can say that the 8x32 EDG handle glare exceptionality well for a small pair of binoculars.Thanks Bruce, yes they're working out very well.</blockquote>
