I planned to get it to use, but things got in the way so it is on the "to buy" list when the time comes.

I think that is the one Lynn has so you should check with him. I am spoiled by the resolution of my scope so I did not care for what I saw in that one, but it does make your honing look better than in mine!
OCD is right about resolution being more important than magnification.

if you can find a cheap used Brock Magiscope I highly suggest you buy it. It is a transmission scope so the image is reversed but it has very good optics for a teaching scope. Also, the scopes that were at ashville and latest KC meetups were pretty good too. Does anyone recall ID for that scope?
