I cannot honestly vote to your above poll
and its due to it would come down to WHERE I was hunting and using spot and stalk method
in places where I still hunt, which is a form of spot and stalk IMO< I would want even lower power optic' due to things would be thick and close
yet if I was hunting in more wider open area's I would want a higher power optic, to about 10x say, and often times would be carrying a spotting scope of a LOT more power! befor I go after anything far off,
No point in walking far to find out its NOT truly what you want!
SO IMO< where your at and how the terrain is, determines what glass I would use
most times in life there is NO one tool does it all
its more about a different tool for every job!
if you have the means and want to do the job the easiest /best way!
and then there is what everyone LIKES best
not all of us have the same vision powers, either!
