Thanks guys - I appreciate your responses. I hadn't considered the fact that, yes, of course, it would be dark if a bear were to visit, so the transparent thing isn't much of an issue. Maybe I'll go for the Garcia and then a BV350 so I can mix it up depending upon the trip.

I'd sure like to find some at those kinds of used gear prices!

Thanks again!
Mike
