I have 8x42 SLC, newer version. I like it better than the Zeiss FL and HT. I haven’t tried the SF, but for price I also like the SLC better than the Swarovision. +1 for 8x42 SLC if you want a 8x
I liked the HT better than the SLC. I haven't looked through an SF or EL but I couldn't imagine ever needing anything better than the HT, FL, or SLC. If you could find a used pair of FLs for a good price, I don't think you would be missing much.
