All I have personally used are straight spotting scopes. I do a lot of glassing out of pickups and the straights work alot better. I have traveled with guys that have the angled and by the time they get on target, the target is either gone or moved. When backpacking the straight fits easier in your pack. Where I glass I am usually looking down rather than up in our mountains, so you really have a hard time trying to get comfortable with an angled spotter.
