I have a set of 12x, 10x, and 6x. The 10x are my favorite, mainly because they are the highest quality, but also because I mainly hunt bean fields. I forgot my 6x on a woods trip but had the 12x in the truck. They were pretty much useless for that purpose, just too much magnification. Not sure if the 10x would have been much better.

If I were going to keep 2, it would be the 10x and 6x. If you are going to get down to just one pair, I'd split the difference with the 8x.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
