thanks to everyone for responding! You guys are the smartest ever. Seem like
the most popular middle model are the Monarch's. wouldn't you know that both
Eagle Optics and B & H Photo has them, but are out of stock. Guess this is
due to the popularily. Anybody know of other on line places to purchase
them. Thanks again for all you helpful input.

I'm also interested in the Vortex Viper or the Vortex Razor, but since these
are new there is not as much information out there.
