Sinwagon1 Report post Posted March 2, 2015 I own both 12x50s and 20x56s and my brother owns 15x56s. Looking right at day light at the Estrella's about 2 miles away the 15s were crisper at daylight. No question. But not crazy better. And with the 20s you could still pick up animals no problem. And once the light was a little better the difference was bill in clarity. The 20s however could see a huge difference farther. So what we concluded was if you have 10s go with 15s for long rNge low light. If you got 12s like we both do the 20s were better for long distance all around and so that's what we went with. He is going to the 20s. As I said, you might not see horns at first light break with the 20s, but you'll still see the animal. The 12s compensate that easy. We decided if you know where the animal is you'll find it five minutes later anyhow. However you can't go wrong with either. We wanted best long range overall so the 20s won. It's a trade off yes, but we want long range for just that reason, long range. That is of course my opinion. But one that also has tested it side by side.
