The numbers look great. Do you have any images or an ideal scope images?

How does this compare to the first one - ready to buy but floundering in indecision....... prices about 200-300 apart. Would you spend $1000 more to increse the color to D-E? The size is okay - would go bigger, but not to sacrifice cut-color-price

Thanks - Jay

The numbers also look really nice on the first one on this post, the a cut above diamond. At this point, it''s really helpful to see images and ideal scope images to make a decision, since both of the numbers look great.

Would I pay 1k to go up to a higher color, no way! G color is still very icey white and you will see no color in it what so ever!! To save money or go bigger, I''d probably even go lower to an H.

I would say #1 or #3, although 3 doesn''t have an IS image, I''m thinking it''s probably fine. They are basically the same size (1 is a hair bigger), and very close in price.
