Your opinion is highly regarded.I think as a SV32 owner I have got the right to say the SV32 is most certainly NOT the best birding bin there is. It is a nice bin, but also getting a bit overrated, and it has some disadvantages compared to other bins.It's for each to his/her own to decide which bin is the best birding bin to them.I've said it before  but I have been annoyed more than once by the white haze under certain conditions in the 32SV. During a holiday when the sun was low, I had to switch over to the Terra because I couldn't see #### with the SV  Not pretty at all, considered the price we have to pay for it. I have to admit the conditions were harsh at that time but anyway, but it was a big disappointment to see the much cheaper Terra making short work of the SV in terms of glare control.When I pay alpha money, I like to get alpha quality. The glare control in the SV32 is definitely NOT alpha level....Don't get me wrong, I still like the little SV a lot, but although it is a fantastic bin, don't be blinded by all the rave reviews it is getting, it also has it's shortcomings, and to some people, I think these shortcomings could be a reason not to buy one.Just my 2 cents...</blockquote>
