Well, I should have said "complement" rather than "replace", as I own the Monarch 7 in 8x42, and I'm looking for a good quality 8x32 bin to take on longer non-motorised trips in the wilderness where the size and weight of the full size bin is not welcome. That said, I am very satisfied with the Monarch "platform", except the poor quality eyecups, and I have been looking at the M7 8x30 as well.
It does seem like the Lynx HD has its own eyecup-problems though. Do you know if its a general problem with the Lynx, or just that particular pair?
Thanks for the links to the threads! I'll check them out! :t:
