Buy them,you won't regret it! I picked up a 8x30 SLC NEU, and love them. The focus wheel up front is actually very nice, especially if you wear a ballcap often. The quality of these glasses is incredible, the feel in the hand is superb. Then look thru them and you will be sold. I like them so much taht I also picked up a 10x42 SLC. I am sold of spending top-dollar for optics. I bought so many chaep pairs that I could have been money ahead if I would have started with Swarovski. My only advice, if you are only going to buy one pair, consider the 10x42, at least demo both before you decide. For an all-around, the 10x42 seems tops.
