Personally, I've tried the SEs and though they were quite nice, I didn't find them overly remarkable. I thought and still think that the little 6x30 Yosemites were VERY close to them, the 6.5x32 IF Minox their better, and the 8x30 SLC, and both the 8x32 and 8x42 Ultravids easily superior.

Others disagree.

If I had a pair of SEs, I doubt I'd "upgrade", but I'd not go out of my way to grab a pair if anything in the class were already in house.
