I carried some Nikon ED-50s for a lot of miles, and really enjoyed them, but what I have learned about spotter weight/size can be summed up with a quote from somebody that I can't remember...
"A lightweight spotter is really important for when you have to hike across the canyon to see up close what your spotter couldn't show you..." grin
I am a huge believer in lightweight, compact gear, but a bigger spotter is one area I am willing to give up weight... They really can save you a ton of time and energy.

Tanner:
Go back to the OP, climbing more than one canyon to get
a look. Lightweight is important.
I agree a 60 or 82mm spotter is better in some ways.
