You won't be disappointed by either of those. But if you are really interested in a bigger field of view I wouldn't rule out the SF. Its flat field is said to be a 'milder' version than Swarovski's and it seems fewer people report rolling ball. Remember that FOV is a disc not a line at 1,000 m so if you calculate the SF's FOV advantage of 8m or 10m as an area it is significantly larger compared with HT and the Leica. SF also has some handling advantages too.That said, HT and the Leica are both first class.Good luck with your choice.Lee</blockquote>
