[QUOTE="Troubador, post: 3376509, member: 109211"] Well said Steve. And just like friends can be a jumble of characteristics that don't add up 'on paper' but nevertheless endear them to you, so some bins just grab your heart because they appeal to you in some inexplicable way. Despite me having HTs, SFs and FLs, if my Conquest HD 8x32s are on the table its odds on I will grab them as I head towards the door. Yes, if I have planned ahead to visit a particular site with a definite kind of observing in mind I will more likely choose SF or HT but a spontaneous grab and go will usually see me depart with the Conquest. These intangible qualities are as important as optics. Lee [/QUOTE]
