Is the HD worth the extra money? I am going to get an 80mm for the light gathering, and probably the straight body since i mostly view from the prone postion. The aluminum vs magnesium really doesnt matter to me that much but is one much better than the other?
 
Re: Swarovski spotting scopes

The Aluminum is a couple of ounces heavier than the magnesium, however, the optics are identical.
If you are using the spotter to double for digiscoping the HD would be noticibly superior, for straight up spotting it is not a huge difference.
While our supply lasts a Swarovski ATS or STS 80 for SH members is only $1749.99 new with the Swarovski 20-60x zoom eyepiece
