so much better. Greater depth of field and not so heavy on the head. My neck
ached when I tried to use the head magnifier for over an hour. I tie all my
flies with a light magnifier, It shows up every flaw and is much more

You will have to decide, this is what works best for me.

This is a good thread. I have to tie with my glasses off to see anything
small.
It's now getting to where it's hard for me to count the thread-wraps on
