I have a set of Vortex binos and love them however, Swarovski binos are hard to beat. As mentioned earlier, you may not see a huge difference in the middle of the day but you will see a huge difference in low light conditions with the Swarovskis being the better set of optics. If you don't have the money for Swarovski's though, Vortex is pretty hard to beat. I love my Vortex optics and I'm sure you will love yours as well.
