I just received a call today from a gentleman at Opticsplanet. They are not in stock there nor are they in stock at Bushnell yet apparently. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I am guessing that you are probably correct about the stray light issue but it will be fun to give them a go just to see what $290 traditional hinge ED bins can do.I do agree with your comment about the Bushnell Legend roofs being one of the best $200 bins at the moment though I think the Cascade porro outshines them, pun intended, a bit. I was just doing a side by side and noticed how much more the Cascade porro handles color fringing better, has better edge sharpness and a brighter view overall. I think the Cascade porro is still the most overlooked bin currently on the market. Other than a preference for roof handling I do not see how an individual might choose any of the $300 roofs over it.</blockquote>
