Brinsea Ovascope for olive eggs?

I was thinking about getting a Brinsea Ovascope for candling the olive-egger eggs I have put under my broody hen. I would like to ask if it is effective and worth the money in general and for candling dark or olive eggs.

I have the Ovaview without the scope, and on blue, green or dark brown eggs I can barely see much more than the outline of the air cell and very little veining. I don't discard anything until lockdown, when it is more clear which eggs have chicks inside. I would recommend getting the high intensity unit, and possibly not buy the scope. If your eggs are as large as mine, many of them won't fit into the scope
 
Do you by any chance have any photos of the dark/olive eggs you candled? It's just that it's kinda expensive and I want to be sure it's worth it, you know...

I don't have a photo of blue eggs, but here is a white polish egg vs a cuckoo Marans at 8 days. You can see the cuckoo, but not nearly as much detail as the polish. My blue eggs are very similar to the cuckoos, but I think black coppers or Welsummers would be too dark. Like I said, this isn't the HI model
