I've been looking to get a monocular recently and am trying to decide between Carson/RPO 3.0 optic and Photonis Boomslang optic.
Looking at reviews the Boomslang seems to be very good, but does lose some resolution. Is this worth it? I've heard of people using higher resolution tubes to counteract this, does this actually work?
If I go for the non-Boomslang optic it would save some money as they are cheaper and would allow me to get a lower res tube. If I go for a Boomslang I'd want to get a high resolution tube (whether to use Boomslangs to start with, or upgrade to them later).
As an aside, for this sort of setup would saving more for binos make more sense? Or is it reasonably possible to match two different tubes later to make duals out of the mono?
