STRAIGHT THROUGH OR ANGLED VIEWING?
Straight
Easier to find your subject in view
Cheaper than the equivalent 45° model
Easier to use when sitting down in hides
Angled
Easier to follow birds moving
Often avoids straining the neck
Easier to watch birds in the tops of trees
Easier to use if you are tall
Tripod not so high and therefore more stable
