I would like to buy this one, but it is a pain in the wallet. I guess price is OK for a top quality product including lighting.

Yes, price looks OK but for me the working distance of 425mm is way too much. It looks to be for dental / surgery or standing up at a bench.

I find the large bench magnifiers just get in the way.

Overall the headband magnifier works best for me. For some years I've used one of the really cheap Ebay ones. Yes, they are cheap with nasty plastic lenses and they look awful but they work for me.
