I also like the lower magnification of the loupe. I had the RS scope first but 60-100x can be too much at times. I like the 30x, it's perfect for seeing the the color of the trichomes. The higher magnification of the other one gives a much smaller field of vision which can be challenging when looking at your plants.

I have the RS scope too and while it is very good at seeing details up close, its kind of hard to focus without actually cutting a piece off and laying it flat on a surface. You have to sort of hover over the buds and find the right distance to get everything in focus which can be a pain, but it does work. Never tried the loupe but I'm interested in trying one of those one of these times
