Also, they need good eyepieces. However well means no equal to a true ED. With a 120 ed scope or a C6 with binowiever you can get a extraorinary perform, but missing the low mags range. You can fix this in someway with an aditional binos ...Third option, buy two 80 to 100 ED straight scopes and made a binoscope, both of best worlds. Is expensive than the semi apos binos, but far away of the docter or the kowas. For example you can buy two on the second hand market, or one of them. I think for 1500 euros you can get it.</blockquote>
