My (badly stated) point is that once you're past "looking through the bottom of a coke bottle" glass, glass quality makes no practical difference to function, so it shouldn't be a main consideration. Sure it's nice to talk about, but who ever missed anything because their glass wasn't clear enough? I never have. I'd put features, reliability, build quality and toughness above glass clarity in terms of importance. Especially since when you buy a scope that has those features, glass clarity will be more than sufficient.
