i use the nikon monarch 800, love it. i looked at several top brands last year and settled on this one. i bought mine off ebay and saved about $100. if i was you, goto a sporting good store and pick each one up and look through it to find which one fits you. at first i wanted the monarch 1200, but when i held it, i realized it was too fat for me. i also really liked the nikon 440, but the viewer is really small and hard on my eyes. i also checked out several new models with arc. i like the idea of arc, but i didn't like the bushnell model, a little big for me. and the other brand with arc was getting really bad reviews on the net. but i did like the overall feel of it though. hope i was helpful.ps if you think about buying one from ebay, make sure it's new and not used or rebuilt. i've bought two now from the same guy. no problems yet.
