Anyone compare Leupold 8x32 GR against ZR 7x36 EDII

[tpcollins]

I'm still trying to find every excuse possible not to get the 7x36 EDII mainly because at 5.8", I think they're just too darn long. Since Leupold has gone to the HD version (more marketing talk ??), I found an online source for the pre non-HD version 8x32 Leupold Gold Ring for about $30 less than the ZR. I can live with the extra 5 ozs of the Leupy, I'm just not sure about the extra length of the Zen 7x36. 

Just wondering if anyone has compared these two side by side and what your thoughts were? Thanks.

Well, I ordered both, and tested them pretty well against each other and I'm keeping one and returning the other. I don't think Charles would be happy with the results.

Since Zen Ray is a sponsor here, I don't wish to post anything negative. But if you send me a PM, I would explain my issues privately.
