I like both of mine,

9x28 Pentax

8x32 Zen Ray

I gave up on compact binos. The laser rangefinders I use now are 7x with relatively good FOV's, so I use those for my general glassing work, and keep a larger set with higher magnification in my kit if I decide I need a closer look.

I use 12X Nikon Monarch's.

Can't image I would need anything else !!!

Shoulder harness, of course - no other way to fly IMO.

I used to have a pair of Steiner, but did not care for the auto focus. So I purchased the following and like them very much for the price.

Exactly what I was going to reccomend. I love em.
