I, too, love my Kowa.

Martin, I'll make no comment on specific brands other than to say I'm
very happy with my (relatively) cheap Kowa.
However, I really wish I'd bought a wide angle fixed 30x eyepiece and
not a zoom version. If possible, look through both and see whether you
can really resolve much more detail at 50-60x on a zoom to 30x on a
fixed.
