Yeah, high power binos are quickly losing their appeal to me. After learning about the value of high quality glass here and looking through some nice binos today at a marine storeI am now wavering between 10 and 12 power. After returning the Barska Gladiators, I looked through some 7x50 Nikons today that were just a joy to use, they were so easy to hold steady and the longer exit pupil made them soooo comfortable to viewthrough.
