Why didn't it work out? I want to do the same thing.
How do these compare to the other spotting scopes by Swarovski?

They are great in my opinion. Light, compact, same swaro glass tech as the nl pures: Larger field of view out of a smaller objective. Only concern on these as big eyes is not being able to get them close enough together to fit my eyes comfortably.
What do you think about them compared to a 65-80 objective has to be some difference in light gathering, is it much? I am interested in the smaller size is why I ask, as I get older I don't want to carry more!
They're the best out there in compact spotting scopes. I looked through both the Swaro STC/ATC and the Meopta TSN-553 and all 3 were excellent. The Swaros also have the same glass as in the NL Pure Binos. Some prefer the lower power Binos to the higher power 15's as they are very clear and suck up the light, and are lighter. $2100 is a steal as you also have no tax and no shipping. You will have no issue with light gathering but will have a smaller FOV than the larger scopes. The eye box is excellent also. I'm in the same boat as you, getting older and pack weight is a big concern. Good luck.
Minimum interpupilary distance for the STC and big eyes adapter is 2.5"…if the center of your eyeballs is smaller than that it isn't going to work. I'm at 2.48" and am praying that I am close enough; I am waiting for the ATC adapter.
