These can be had for a pretty good deal if you look around because Vortex has replaced it with the 11-39x56. I just picked this up so we would have a light spotter for our up coming backcountry bear hunt. I own some good glass. I have a Kowa 88 spotter and Meopta meostar binos. But I gotta tell ya, for the money these can be bought for, it's really good glass. Waiting right now for some low light to truly see how it will function, but so far it's been great and it will allow me to see more detail than my binos. Paired with my light tripod and panhead, this whole setup is 3 pounds on the button. Plus, this tripod is already in my pack for my binos. Compare this to my kowa setup, which comes in at 8 pounds. I'm very, very happy. I've been thinking about one of the small spotters for two years and I know the kowa 55 series is the one to have. But I just couldn't get myself to drop 1500 bucks on one. This was less than a third of the price. Can't wait to bring it into the mountains.
