Does anyone have any experience with the cheaper models? Are they worth a crap? Which would you recommend?

| Not at home right now, I'll post some info and charts later tonight. I've got an extensive test that was conducted by the Ornithology Lab at Cornell University on spotting scopes. They went from fairly cheap to top o' the line, and have 'em broken down by price and how they rated. I'll post it up tonight. |

It's a few years old, but still good info here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/Page.aspx?pid=1039

| I have this one in the 20-60x60 model and I like it. The tripod it comes with is not sturdy so I bought a new one and have no complaints. It's not expensive and I can see targets just fine. |
