As I wrote in the title, I've Minox (not APO, not HD, about 15 years old). They aren't very heavy, but I'm looking for something light, more compact.
I've tried the CL Companion,they're different from Minox, but are same increse 10x and little size... and I don't know if I'll miss the Minox in the field and I'll regret it, but I've to sell them to make money. What is your opinion?

Did you see any difference between the two?
 
I couldn't try them together. The swarovski seemed comfortable, small size, surprised me for good. I´m afraid of losing excessive field of vision, among other possible disadvantages that I don´tt know of 10x30.
 
The CL companions have a nice sharp field of view, but make sure to try them in a store to see if they fit you well -- the eyecups may feel shockingly narrow without glasses, especially if you were used to a Minox. I personally found the CLs unusable for that one reason and returned them, despite the nice view.
