I guess you are "Full of it" also. The sports car and selling your house really doesn't compare to buying a $2K binocular. Were talking a LOT less money and not a huge lifestyle change to acquire an alpha binocular. You tried multiple less expensive binoculars before you bought an alpha and that is exactly what I did. I don't think perfection in a binocular is boring. Maybe a person but not a binocular. I didn't say you were wrong for not buying a 10x50 SV or an 8x32 SV either. Whatever binocular you buy is your decision. My point is is this. There is nothing wrong with trying less expensive binoculars to see if they work for you. For some people a $200 binocular like the Sightron might fulfill their needs and that may be all you want to spend or can afford. But in my case after having alpha level binoculars the less expensive binoculars let me down and led to frustration because they were never and WILL NEVER be as good as a $2K binocular. I don't mess around with them anymore.B <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
