I was looking at Vortex, Kowa, Zeiss, Leica, etc,etc. to use for back ups binos and for the grandkids to use on their hunts.
After spending time with all of them the Meopta MeoPro HD's (10x42) were the ones I went with and now that I have had some real time with them I am really impressed. While I still think the EL's are my favorite I dont really feel like there is all that much difference between mid range binos at 25% of the cost of the high dollar models. I would also add that the Meopta'sMeoPro's are better than similarly priced other brands.
Dont want to start a bino war here.......I was just very very pleasantly surprised at how great the Meopta's really are in the field.
