The HD is a bit finer in optical quality. Both the standard or the HD are a serious investment and both are excellent scopes.
One would think that this should be the last scope that you are buying. Perhaps you are into, or will one day be into, Digiscoping. It may be worth pausing a moment and deciding if it pays to spend a little bit more now to get the finest option and never having to wonder if you should have or, as other have done, selling the non-HD at a loss and wind up buying the HD later. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss this and take a look at the Demo List.....#49314S ATS-65 HD Spotting Scope @ $1349.99.... #49096S 20-60x Zoom Eyepiece @ $299.99
