Swarovski 20-60 x 65 HDor 20-60 x 80 HD

So what would you guys go with? I'm considering either a 20-60 x 65 HD or 20-60 x 80 HD? What do you see as some pro's and con's of each??

Less weight and bulk with the 65s, more light gathering with the 80s.

Ditto to mmwb. If you can handle another .5 inch in length and 10 oz., i'd get the 80. If you're a weight saving bivy guy, go with the 65.
I've been debating the same for a while. It's relative to the user; but you can get quite a bit more light and objective with the 80.

I am leaning towards the 80, but I know the 65 is popular. I'll be packing it some, but will also be doing a lot of spotting from ridges, etc. close to a truck. I'm 6'6 and 280, so I guess the extra 10 oz. probably wont be that big of a deal.

Does anyone have an insight on the Swaro telescoping models??
