[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2347436, member: 29765"] Kinda the same but kinda not. When I was shopping for new binos, I looked at about everything in the $1k price range. I was looking at 10x42s because that’s what I needed. I ended up with the SLCs because those were by far the clearest, most colorful, comfortable, etc. out of all the binos I looked through. The Zeiss’ eyecups didn’t feel as comfortable and had that blue hue to them. The Leupold’s focus wheel was too touchy not as bright. The Leica Trinovids just didn’t seem quite as bright but still a very good optic. The Vortex Razor HDs were absolute junk, grey not clear, depth of focus was terrible, it was at that moment I swore off their optics, at least buying anything new as I do have a few Razor riflescopes. If I hadn’t decided to spend the extra money on the SLCs it would’ve been the Trinovids. This is me saying that if I were to buy 15s I’d be skipping the rest and go straight for the SLCs. On this same note, I have a buddy that has the Mavens and I’ve looked through them for coues and mulies and they’re pretty nice, a little less edge-edge clarity and a tad touchier focus wheel than my SLCs. Also hard to completely compare as mine were 10s and his are 15s. So, when we looked my stuff was clearer but his was closer. [/QUOTE]
