I'm in the market for a new spotting scope, and am wondering if anyone can speak to the optical quality of the new Razor spotters compared with the older versions. I keep seeing the older 85mm on sale for $1100 on Camofire, and the new 65mm goes for around $1200, which are both in my budget. I can't spend the $1600 on the new 85mm version.
I like the packable quality of the 65mm for backpack hunts, but understand that the optical quality will be better with a larger objective lens. Is the 85mm lens really worth the extra size and weight, or are these new Razors that much better in optical quality that I wouldn't notice much difference if I got the 65mm? Thanks in advance.
