I know your all a bunch of rich guys, but I'd seriously look through some Alpen 8X42's. A buddy of mine has a pair of Swaro's and my Alpen's are every bit as clear.

Leupold 8x32 Katmai's for bowhunting because of their size and quick focus.
Leupold 10x42 Cascades for firearms for the extra magnification around fields.
Both are extremely sharp.

I use Swar 8x30, for obvious reasons. Quality and light gathering in low light conditions.
If you are lanning on compacts I would go with the better quality glass just for these reasons. I'd recommend Leica, Swar, Zeiss. Their compacts are better than most full sized Japanese models.
If you go looking to compare don't look through them in a well lit store. They all look good in good light. Try to compare them in low light like you might for hunting. This is where quality shines.
