For me, the best move was to get control of binocular buying addiction. I joined Sancho in late 2007 in pledging to resist buying any new bins in 2008, and I'm proud to say that I held to my word. In fact, I've not bought a bin since then (despite buying many previously, and despite still being interested in bins). Of course it is easier to resist buying new bins when you already own a bunch of good ones. Some day I'll buy a new bin, but my standards are very high and I'm now quite practiced in resisting. C'mon Swarovski, speed up the focus (ideally with variable-ratio) on that SV EL 8.5x42 (or Zeiss, with that 8x42 SF) and I'll give in! --AP</blockquote>
