The problem with my comparison is its not apples to apples, as far as "characteristics" go; 12x50 vs 10x42, big differences. I feel the overall view is better through the SLCs, and I like the ergonomics/way they feel better. But if I'm hunting out west, or in a place where I don't want to pack the spotter, I'll take the 12x ELs every time. Had Swaro made a 12x50 SLC W B, I would have bought those instead of ELs.
