You really have to use both yourself, preferably in the field birding. Going with an Audubon group or other birders with scopes may be useful for this.I have both an angled and a straight scope. Both have their merits.I will say that I believe many use a too short tripod for their large straight scopes. When looking "up" you'll need a lot of height to be comfortable.</blockquote>
