Kenai 30x, 25-60x80mm HD Spotting Scope

Have any of you had much of a chance to check this spotter out yet? Or do any of you have one? I spent some time yesterday at Cabelas handling one and checking it out. I really came to like it quite well. The report the sales guys was giving me was very positive. Any thoughts or experiences on this? Thanks

Bump... Anyone got any info on this yet?

bought a spotter last year and I too was interested in the Kenai. Unfortunately there just is seemingly NO input on it out there..from anyone. Even bird watchers. I finally came to the conclusion that Lupy introduced it to compete with the myriad of others at that price point. And if it is just a price point red headed stepchild for them, then I need to look elsewhere! At least you got to look at one.
Can't find it now, but remember reading last years model was assembled in china of Jap. glass. I hate chinacrap! And that is what took it off the short list.
I know this doesn't exactly answer your question...but hope it helps.
