Hi Marc,
I use both a 8X50 finderscope, with right-angle view, and a Telrad. Going to an up-market finderscope will at least give you far better optics and a much better field of view than the plastics. The Telrad is great, and I have Telrad bases mounted on a number of scopes and just move the main item between them. I'm not sure how to describe how it works, apart from a "target" projected into your field of view, but there is no magnification involved, and they are very easy to align and use. If asked to choose only one, my preference would be for the Telrad. If you get a chance, try as many types as you can before making a purchase
.
Cheers,
Graeme
