I'm with you on the magnification question. 8x has always been as low as I want to go. It may be that the 8x/7x difference makes the Leica seem sharper. Many find the 10x25 Ultravid "sharper" than the 8x20, when it may have more to do with magnification. Brightness, too, surprises me. I thought the Bushnell's would win that one.I plan on keeping my little Leica's but I'm still looking for a tight fitting case that allows them to be carried unfolded. The duel hinges flat out bug me, and leaving one side unfolded at all times means they don't fit the case either.Anyway, thanks for the review.Mark</blockquote>
