I have one and really like them. Good glass, good ergonomics, and fairly compact. A year or so after getting the 10x42 SLC, I picked up some 12x50 ELs. I thought I would be selling the SLCs, but I learned that I preferred them over the ELs in situations where the 12x wasn't warranted. I have no experience with the NL Pure line of binos, so I can't compare to those.
