I provide both Zeiss and Motic stereomicroscopes, and spent almost 20
years selling Leica, and have to say, Motic has really come a long way
in their instruments. Motic stereomicroscopes are really good
instruments. The current design team consists of former Nikon
designers, which is why you'll see a lot of "Nikon" feel to their
scopes. For the price range, the Motic instrument is a real contender
these days, the SMZ 168, for instance has the look, feel and rough
quality of the old standard Nikon SMZ2B, and has a Zoom Range that'll
blow the Chinese Leicas out of the water (0.7-5x). What's more, the
Leica scope has a very awkward viewing angle as opposed to the
standard 35 degrees you'll find on the Motic.
I'd give them a serious look, they're really becoming a good reliable
source of scopes at a very attractive price. You could do a hybrid
and get a Motic scope on a Meiji LED stand if LED's are an issue for
you.
