I'm hoping to scrape up enough cash by spring to get my first good pair of binoculars. I'm thinking 10x42 and am leaning toward the Swaros. For the difference in price, is a mere mortal such as myself going to be able to appreciate the performance of the EL over the SLC? The specs are rather similar between the two models. I assume that the ELs have a superior coating. I also realize that they are going to be discontinued...
