I guess it's abit like buying wine, if they make good cabernet, they might not make good pinot noir, and it varies year to year, in optics I imagine it's model to model.
Well this makes your decision easier then. The pentax xw line is now discontinued. Unless you buy all of them now you may never complete it. May as well go vixen. Believe me, when your at the eyepiece you won't complain about the view.
