I get what people are saying and it may well be true, but when people talk about coatings and glass being different or changed without actual proof then it’s really just speculation, or many times even a bias to justify a purchase. I see it often in the rifle scope industry, so much as thinking different color hues on lenses means the coating or glass has changed when that’s not the case.
Again, not doubting anyone’s opinion on said bins, but that’s really all it is without factual proof when it comes to glass grades or coatings. It doesn’t help when so called reputable people make claims like this.

How can a 2nd tier instrument be ahead of so many and so close to the so called toalphas for a fraction of the price. Is this site false because it contradicts with many other reviews.
Then there’s reviews like this, it’s no wonder people get confused.

Again I’m not doubting anyone’s own personal opinion and the edg is probably better, or it should be, I don’t know,....but until facts from the manufacturers are presented or test are done with multiple units of each sample it’s only opinion.
Also guys, I say this as respectfully as I can, please don’t take it in a disrespectful way or think I’m doubting anyone here. It’s more so the reviews and contradiction of various places that claim to be reputable, and I’m not referring to this forum which I generally hold in the highest regard.
