Following is an exchange I had with Celestron's tech support. I am wondering why they even offer ED lenses @ over $100 adder if there is so little difference between the ED and non-ED systems. Any thoughts on this topic?

To the real-world user, is there a perceptable difference between the Ultima 100ED and the standard Ultima 100? I am considering the purchase of a spotting scope for use in rifle competition spotting applications and also for star gazing for my 9 year old son. Will there be a noticible difference bewteen images viewed in these scopes. I would go look at these side-by-side but the closest dealer is over an hour away and I am not sure they would have both of these scopes available.
