Kylie-bird... try using a straight scope to look high into trees (or at the night sky) and, unless you have a 7ft tripod, you'll appreciate the value of an angled one. I would only buy a straight scope if it was pocket-size, like a Kowa 502 and wanted to use it ad-hoc and sans tripod, like when primarily hiking, or from a car.
