Pretty much made my mind up to go with a pair of EL's. If I bought something "less" I am the type of person that would always wonder if it really is "just as good." At least this way, I'll know and if I find something I like better, I can sell without taking too big a hit hopefully.
From what I have been seeing, pre-Swarovision models are selling for about $1100 to $1300 while a first generation Swarovision model generally seems to be in the $1400 to $1600 range depending on the seller and buyer. Is that about in line with what to expect?
I missed an EL 8.5x42 SV on eBay due to a thumb fumble with the phone that sold for $1500 Saturday...kinda kicking myself on that one. And just saw a 10x42 SV go unsold with a $1400 bid and a reserve price of $1500. Granted, there is a noted blemish on one eyepiece lense, but I was surprised to see it not sell.
Probably gonna post a WTB ad here on the classifieds in the next day or so.
Thanks for everyone chiming in.
