I find it helpful to have more power available, my SB 5-45 gives me a lot of range to work with.There is such a thing as too much power.
got behind the much heralded NF 7-35 this week and found it to be a bit much. I thought it was a 5-25 and my buddy asked “do you do 100 yard work at high power?” And I’m like yeah. Then I got behind it and could see my heartbeat and thought WTF?
Later I saw it was a 7-35 and I understood. 25x is enough for this farsighted middle aged guy
