I have a pair of 12X42 NLs and a pair of 10X42 ELs. Before I give you advice, I don't know your eyes. Everybody has different eyes and have different preferences. NLs are extremely sensitive and take a bit of input to get them to be set for you eyes. They are amazing once you get them set up. I have not had the opportunity to look through the 8X32NLs but the guides really like the 10X32NLs. The ELs have more eye relief and seem to be favored by eyeglass wearers. They are easy to operate and very affordable in the scheme of things. I would look at the Zeiss Victory SF8X32s as well. While they are not Swaros they were designed by a Swaro engineer who fell in love with a Zeiss family member. He took a lot of the proprietary technology of the ELs and put it in the original SFs so they(SFs, ELs, and NLs) are cousins if anything. It is kind of the reverse of the Hapsburgs.
