Angled is just as quick & much better in the long run when glassing for hours through a Spotter! I use my Spotter more than my binos at everything over 1000yds.interesting, I found it just the opposite.

Some of the pluses for angled include easier sharing with your hunting buddies if they are a similar height as you. Also if your glassing straight out or up a hill I think angled is better. As others have aluded to, it sure sucks when siting on top of a hill and wanting to glass down at a steep angle. That's what I find myself doing a lot and for that reason alone I wish I had a straight spotter.

You can sit for hours with your head braced to your knees by your hands. Look at the guys with binos - much easier, steadier and less fatiguing to sit with elbows on knees versus sitting upright. Lots easier to sit that way with an angled scope vs. straight.
Angled scope means smaller/lighter (and cheaper) tripod. This is a good thing for backpacking.
Angled scopes typically have a rotating mounting collar. Rotate the scope 90° if you insist on looking through it straight.
Angled for the win.
Three Swaro spotters, two strait and one angled, which position looks more comfortable?
