    The new HD-B has better ballistic software than the Swaro but seemed to have copied the swaro in looks. It will be interesting to see final pricing and be able to compare them.
    I would never use the software of either bino. The inclinometer is a great feature tho.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    I'm in a similar situation, I want some high end rangefinder binos. But rather than pay retail, I plan to wait until someone far richer than I (KG or Brads) gets bored of theirs and sells them
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    As andyanimal31 has said mate don't rule out the Zeiss, he got me on two them, simply the best glass ever, more ranging than you'll ever need, as has been said the ballistic calc is shit in them but never use it so not an issue.
    Ive had both swaro ind lecia RF binos, the Zeiss on top, then swaro then leica, just my opinion with my shot eyes .
    I'm sure you'd be happy with any of these 3 top spec binos.
