1st that's silly - I've looked through both there not as far apart as you suggest, the difference is barely percitible as is the case with all high end optics.

2nd I'm not asking about the HD's. I'm asking about the new Geovid R model.

Thanks,

The "R"-series Geovids are HD.

And whilst the conquests are fine $700-900 glass, they aren't "high end"...they are very good tier two glass. They don't utilize flourite or extra low dispersion lenses like the Leica HD series (Geovid, Ultravid). The 'wow' factor to most viewers is obvious.
With optics you get what you pay for.
If you can't see any difference between conquest glass and Leica alpha glass you might be best served with a pair of Bushnell Fusion RF.
