[Elecraft] Optivisor?

I'm sure distortion was a bad choice of words; it was not a cheap knock-off.  Field of view was far too short with the 4x for me.  The 3x has proven to be perfectly usable for me, with a much better field of view.  The fact that I'm accustomed to progressives with a high power *may* be a factor here.  As I said, I realize a lot of guys like the 4's.

As an aside, I live less than 8 miles from the Optivisor company.
