Swarovski CL new models Wish list (1 Viewer)

Now that Swarovski has brought out the NL series in all sizes, next comes the update in the CL series.
I think this is what many Swarovski fans are waiting for. I would like to see the 42's in 8 and 10X, and also
the 50's in 8-10-12-15X.
Tell us what is on your wish list ?

I am in despair over the demise of the EL and SLC series, if that is true.

I think CL is by nature more of a unique model than a series, and in any case it's a compromise budget model, no proper substitute for ELs or SLCs at all. Swarovski really seems only to want to sell NLs now, and as perverse as that seems, there must be some economic rationale for it; one wonders which Swaros have or haven't been selling well lately. It's quite the opposite strategy to Zeiss, so how would sales figures compare (not just in the alpha segment but overall)?

I'd like to see SLC-like models with a wider field myself, but of course that isn't going to happen.
 
CL 10x50 now the EL 10x50 is discontinued, around max 900 grams and with 91/92% transmission and 110-120m fov. And please <€2000.

No field flatteners and field pro needed.
 
An 8x40 CL to compete with Zeiss SFL would be well received by me. Definitely agree with others that they should leave off the FieldPro system.
