Doug treated me really well on a Leica LRF1200 about 3 years ago. Until then I had used a Bushnell Compact800. Huge difference in reliability and clarity. Way happy with the Leica.
Doug will stear you properly in the bino are too. But his screaming deal on the Vortex Stokes DLS 10x42 come immediately to mind.
Good luck and Have tons of fun shopping for optics. Be careful though, it can turn into a disease.
