Update: I got the Loupe. Shiny new out of the box, they seem okay. 
The focus is a little too far now, but with reading glasses it's 
better. It's best with this Discover Channel lighted magnifier I 
have. By adjusting that, I can put the focus at a comfortable 
distance and still have room to work underneath it. I guess you 
could do the same thing with one of those third hand magnifiers.

Thanks for the help.
