To be honest, even though the ergonomic improvements with the FP Gen3's are good (not great IMO), to my eyes the very close views don't offer enough substantial improvement for me to currently trade-up from my Gen2's. Maybe with a future EL Gen4!?!  |8.| Looking forward to more P&C (pics & comparisons)! :t:Ted</blockquote>
