Too many other activities going on...not the least of which being birding. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Clive,Let me address your last comments first.....Look at it this way...a can of beer is typically 12 ounces but a big can of beer is 16 ounces or one pound. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />For what it is worth I did include both grams and ounces in the initial review. The company's website lists only grams so I had to convert to ounces for us Yanks. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Enjoytheview,I look forward to hearing your comments in comparison to the EDG and any other models you have on hand. I won't have a chance to be around any "alpha glass" until October.Brock,I don't know about all that. $425 isn't $180. Still, the comparison is with $1000 and $2400 glass so it may become more popular than I anticipated.David,What you posted could be entirely true. I have tested several versions of a particular design and they varied enough in performance to prove that there was a "base design" and then many ways to go about providing different performance levels.</blockquote>
