I just want to know if the advantage of the higher priced bino's is worth the Xta cash.I have a couple fine telescopes.

Hi Wally -

I'm struggling with the same decision. I have an old cheesy Bushnell 7 x 35 that I have used for years, and I know darn well that the 10 x 50s will be harder to hold, but maybe provide a little better view. Frankly, I am considering the Canon image-stabilized 10 x 30.

I am currently looking at this like a scope: if you're gonna buy one anyway, get a good one. I rarely regret spending more if I get something that is significantly better.
