I was just checking some Steiners out the other day. I wish I could remember the model...the price tag was a $930. Right next to them was a set of Ziess Conquests. In my opinion, the Zeiss were MUCH better both in brightness and clarity.

I have a set of Steinder 8x30 Millitary/Marines that I plan to upgrade in the coming year. I think the Zeiss Conquest 10x40's will get my nod.
