I’ve played around with both scenarios a bit. In the stable at that time I had Swaro EL 10x42, SLC 15x56 and a 20-60x65 spotter. The big binos sure are nice and easy on the eyes on a tripod or window mount. Although doable, were a pain to carry. Literally and figuratively. Stationary scanning, I really liked them. But In playing back and forth I found the 10s and spotter were a more capable pairing for the stuff I do. I would dearly love a spotter that went to a bit lower power though. I had 12x as the bottom end on my previous spotter and really miss it. If I was hunting bigger country all the time I may feel differently about my pairing. You can effectively eat up a lot of terrain with big binos in short order.
