If you can go about $1100-$1200, take a look at Nikon's top of the line. These were recently named the "Venturer" but are now markleted as the "High Grade". I have a Swarovski bino that retails for aobut 2X this price ... and franly I cannot tell any difference between the Swarovski and my Venturer. I have a similar Monarch and there is absolutely no comparison.... and should not be for the additional MSRP!
Very clear, very crisp, wonderful at low lght and so far have held up great .... -10F in Montana. !00F+ in SE Alabama. Rain, snow, lots of dust ... not a problem.
