I'd like to second Anne's shout out about EagleOptics. Customer service is great, you can try and return if you need to and their support of not-for-profits is awesome. Central Westchester Audubon wasn't able to use the same matching program SMRA used but they were helpful, pointed out the best choice for the price and the best deal to be had for what was purchased.
Yes, there's a thrill to going to Cape May but if you can't afford the time EO is worth your consideration.
