I also ordered a set of Doug's "meter" HG's. My 10x43's arrive quickly and in PERFECT condition. For $499, I doubt I can find better glass at a nicer price. Full retail at Sportsman's Warehouse is $829!
I compared them to my buddy's older Zeiss 10x40 Victorys. The top-of-the-line Zeiss are noticably better during low light conditions. The Minox lack the "wow" factor the Zeiss have at low light, but at 1/3 the price, I am very happy with the Minox.
