Gentlemen, thank you. I believe that I will be happy with the VX III. I would still like to try a back - to - back comparison with the S&B, but I am experiencing difficulty finding anyone who will loan me one!

Sahunt, I agree with you re: shooting at the edge of legal light. My concern is that in the event of having to track and dispatch a wounded animal, every minute of visibility can be important.

Does anyone have an opinion with regards to the quick detachable rings?
