I'm aware of Tasco's reputation from my astronomy activities, but I have
to say, their bins are a lot better than Tasco's reputation would
suggest. I've read a lot of good reports about the new Tasco Rare Bird

their poor image (heh) and word is, they're beginning to succeed.

You may have done a lot better than you thought.
