If the original poster hasn't bought a pair yet then my suggestion would be the Theron Optics Questa 8x42s. Same basic design as the Leupold McKinleys but with more refinement to the design.

I did a review of them and posted it here and on several other optics forums last year. $425 and the most impressive view you will find in the under $500 price range.
