Advice for a scope (3 Viewers)

I see the opticron better too based on your pictures.
Maybe you are habit to the "color" of sv406p so color more blue of the opticron can be disturbing.
On your picture, the CA of the sv can be seen oh the right of the flue. The sharpness is hard to estimate but the depth of field seem incomparably better on the opticron.

I'm really neophyte too but it's what a can see here, more wise birder will complete this I'm sure.
 
55x is quite a high magnification and so a lot of scopes will start to struggle (even top-level ones). I suspect that if you compared the Opticron with top-level scope you wouldn’t see much difference.
 
Thank you Jinac and Birdister . The thing is that at x54 with the Opticron and at +- x55 with the SvBony , i could see more sharpness in the image in the SvBony . The objects were less fuzzy and more defined . At lower magnifications i think that the Opticron is better , but it is at higher mags were i didnt think the Opticron is better . Again, im not an optical expert , but that is the first impression that i got looking throw the two scopes . Also , i saw more of a blue tint around the ojbects in the Opticron
 
The Opticron looks fuzzier at that mag to my eyes. Regardless of brand surely you should always go with the best image to your own eyes.
