unless you are hunting at night, in the dark past legal hours, I just cannot see why one would get a ROI, at 3-4x the cost
I never advocated paying full retail for the S&B or even buying one, just that is was the brightest 6x money could buy.
And if one could find the S&B 6x42 for a good deal, why not?
Expecially if the individual might be hunting an animal that they are willing to sit in the dark for ........why not?
As to the eye relief, the Leupy FX-III 6x42 has a very generous 4.5" and the S&B 6x42 has 3.27" and while that may pose a problem for some, many don't need that much.
Options are one of the most wonderful things to have in this world and to each his own.
