I agree about the lens coatings point, but the attitude that I see here in Germany even today about not letting anything out of a factory unless it is best they can do is still their work ethos. But now it comes with a price tag to match.
Shame you cannot take an old kaput (milky lens) scope in claw mounts and part out the modern lenses from a Tasco type scope as an upgrading method (6x42 is always 6x42 diameter after all, but I am sure that would be too simple) or have I just found a new market niche, Ha Ha.
