I spend a ridiculous amount of time behind various spotters and often spend better than 8 hours a day just glossing, for weeks. And it is not level country!
I use straight scopes, virtually always. Yes, angled scopes are more comfortable in many circumstances, but I can find a position where they are comfortable.
The huge advantage to a straight scope is speed in acquiring a spot on a distant mountainside when needed. It makes it easier to find an animal that may only hang around in sight for a few minutes.
If you get all hung up on picking up the most comfortable glass instead of picking the best glass for the job you may regret it later... and it is possible to leisurely adjust things for comfort but not when trying to follow a Kodiak bear through the alders.
