I'm not buying anything that has to go to Germany for repair, no matter how good it is.
Never buy a Swarovski spotter then. Binos are serviced here, spotters go back to Austria.
As far as Leica C.S. goes, I have nothing but good to say about them, as they've treated me great each and everytime I've dealt with them. Dave Elwell is who you want to talk to.
