I have had excellent service from my 3200 elites. However the 50mm models are beefy so if weight and length are a concern this maybeworth considering. I assume you'd be possibly add a sunshade, which tome the 3200 50mm's look like baseball bats to begin with[8D], alot of real estate in that scope. Styling points may suffer, if that is a concern at all.

I currently don't own any Nikon monarchs but to my eye a slight advantage in brightness and clarityto a comparable 3200 model.

Both scopes have solid following, as such either is a good choice, but the only way to be sure is SxS comparison and let your eye tell you which scope to buy.

If it were me and those were the 2 scopes models I was down too I'd opt for the Monarch, personally. I like the 3200 a lot butin the 3x9x40 bigame usage.

Good Luck.
