Spotting Scope Question

[MK-M-GOBL]

I’m looking to maybe get one for x-mas and have what probably some will think is a silly question about them. The eye piece on a spotting scope, straight or angled? I think I’d prefer the straight eye piece but after thinking about it, now I’m not sure. What are the advantages or disadvantage of having an eye piece on an angle or straight? Thanks

Ditto to ron's comments, they both have advantages and disadvantages. Basically boils down to personal preference and usage model. I have a straight body because it's more useful for how I use it on the prairie's. However if I were in the mountains I'd probably opt for an angled body.
