Steiner 8x30 or 10x50 lrf binos

[snipe10]

I'm thinking of picking up a pair of Steiner lrf bino's but am undecided on which ones, I know the 10x50's are heavier but question is, is the extra weight worth it? I live and hunt and shoot in Colorado and primarily shoot 260 Rem, any thoughts? I was looking at a Terrapin but the 5X scares me a bit

Take a look at my review just above this thread. I went with the 8x after several discussions with various dealers and they all pointed me to the 8x. The lrf in both are the same, class 1.
