I could never see the "why" of the 6x42 over the 6x36... I just don't find its oft touted large "eyebox" and "ease of acquisition" enough more forgiving over the 6x36 to warrant its larger size and extra weight... but could be I spent so many years behind the lowly 2-7x33's that I've got myself thoroughly trained to find my "spot" quick in the 6x36... compared to the 2-7x33, the 6x36 seems like a bay window...
