[QUOTE="mt Al, post: 825875, member: 19336"] I'd take them outside of a store and see for yourself on the difference in 12x vs 14x. Personally I see very little difference and would go for the larger objective for light gathering. Going from 40mm to 50mm is a HUGE difference in overall light gathering area, over 50% more square milimeters if I have my "pie r squared" math right. I've never put a 40mm next to a 50mm at dusk or dawn so I honestly don't know the real difference in what the image would look like with the larger objective. However, I assume it's more noticeable than the change in power. [/QUOTE]
