hawk,
These bins are the best 15x for the price. At $549 they are hard to beat. I do feel the Minox 13's and the Vortex 15's are better in many aspects, but they are also a lot more expensive. If this is your first set of big eyes, you'll be very happy with them. I have a set and still don't mind sitting behind them when my best friend stills my main set.
Great buy and congrats.
