I have the Meopta pro HD for truck binoculars. They are very good glass but lack the pop of the alphas. For my eyes the Leica UV HD knock my socks off. I also have comparable 8x20 in swarovski and Leica, and for my eyes the leica has better chromatic clarity. Previously I was a Swarovski guy, but maybe my vision is shifting to Leica contrast? That is my opinion, and what my eyes like today. I think a guy needs time to decide. It would be great to rent or borrow glass.
