I just bought a pair of Hunter's Edge 10x42 about a month ago. I am very happy with them (size and performance). I wanted to spend about $150. I found this pair of binos and they were $180, so I decided to wait a while. Come to rind out, they were haveing a pre season sale, which got me some money off, and there was and instant manufacturers rebate. I spent about $140 tax and all.

Keep in mind, I have only used the cheap Wal-Mart binos before, so that is all that I have to compare them to.
