I am by no means,an expert,but I went through the same process that you are going through,right now.
I got a lot of other's advise,and looked through a lot of binoculars.
I finally decided on the Nokon Monarch 8X42 glasses.
I suggest that you look through any and all binos,that are available to you,EXCEPT Lica or Zeiss.They make a good glass look bad by comparison.
