With a little patience, you can find NIB EL's for $1,400.00, so no way I'd pay that for an SLC. I don't mind the ergonomics of the Trinovids, it's just that they're three generations old now (Ultravid and Ultravid HD's).

Heck, this time last year you could get NIB Leica Geovids (8x42 or 10x42) for $1,249.99 after the rebate.
