Expensive , yes and I don't know how they do it and they are just so good its scary ! .
SV have a good reputation tho and are quite a bit cheaper .

Comparing the view through a Tak 50mm finder compared to a Skywatcher 50mm finder is futile - not even close (I find the SW finders quite poor).
I must say I do like the OLDER Vixen finders (when they were still Japanese made), but the new ones - made by Synta for Vixen - are average. I still have 2 spare old 30mm Vixen finders.
I have looked through a couple SV finders - quite nice. Well worth the money.
Borg finders are also GOOD. Borg is a VERY under-appreciated range. I have a few Borg items, and they really are VERY good.
