Hi,
This has likely been done to death.
Does the price jump from the MeoPro HD to the Conquest 8x32 and Genesis 8x33 actually get you a noticeably better instrument optically or just a better build and cooler logo?
I have seen the MeoPro HD and know that I could live with and enjoy them (if I got a good sample) and that they are actually a fair bit sharper and have less CA than the Cabela's Euro/MeoStar HD 8x32 I once had.
The other two are unseen mythical black boxes supported by the voices in my head whispering "you get what you pay for."
I will never use them enough to go past $1K and I have a 8x42 HT for when I am serious about glassing.
What is your recommendation of these three? I can afford the higher ones I guess but would prefer not unless we can be certain that there is a marked improvement to be had.
