The 20-60 Swarovski zoom i no longer have, i switched to the 25-50 years ago when it was introduced. As far as the Vortex scopes and their eyepieces, i will have a look and switch eyepieces and scopes around a little. But i can already see what you are telling me. One of the scopes is better at 40x than the other. Sample variation, i guess. My favorite is the small Nikon 50 E by far. i can carry scope and tripod in a day pack all day and i can use them effectively to see distant sandpipers or hawks. A marvel. I am fairly certain that one and it's 20 WA are cherry samples.</blockquote>
