John, I've been a birdforum member for quite a while and have been part of the Swarovsion threads (have seen your posts)... I agree many there tend to get a little carried away with technical gack, but I think it's the best site to get a variety of ultra-informed opinions... far better than any hunting site IMO.
The "rolling ball" effect will be interesting to see for myself... my instinct tells me it'll be a non-issue for me personally, but we'll see.
Everything in a mechanical optical device is a series of compromises weighted one direction or another, eh?!
