Hello and a scope dilemma (1 Viewer)

[Birdrush]

After dipping into the forum very many years, I decided that I should be a "fully paid up" member. I have always enjoyed and benefitted from the wealth of knowledge accessible at a touch.
My present dilemma is scope related. I have a straight Leica APO Televid 77 and although I use a tall carbon fibre tripod, looking at anything above horizontal is becoming uncomfortable. So, I am looking for an angled scope but keeping the Leica for hide use.
I'm quite fussy about CA and appreciate good optics. My wife and I have Zeiss Victory FLs, 8x32 and 8x42 respectively.
I will take my time and visit various shops but at the moment, I comparing on paper the Opticron MM77 with the Kowa TSN 66a, both having dual focussing which I like. There is a noticeable price difference and I would appreciate anyone's thoughts.
TIA

Hi Birdrush and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. You'd be better posting the question in the Spotting Scopes & tripod/heads forum, as the right people occupy that area who are able to advise you. It would help if you can give some idea of your budget too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing about the birds you see around you.
