As should be done when using a monocular microscope... do they still make 'em?  

Anyway, my question... does anyone have experience with a monocular tele-microscope called the Macroscope 45? 
It's a 45x microscope that converts to an 8x monocular "telescope" by taking off the front lens.  I've been using a Swift
monocular 7x that converts to a microscope at 30x and I have been happy with it for just totin' around lookin' at stuff.\
I'm thinking about the Macroscope and wanted input.  I've seen it at Benmeadows.com for about $160,00 and at other places for a lot more bucks.
