If there is a worse idea in a bin than the 10x25 it would only be a 10x20.

Get an 8x20 and don't worry about the extra X's... your eyes will thank you.

Of the Big Four (Leica, Swaro, Zeiss, Nikon), I'd put Swarovski dead last in the mini-bin category.

My favorite is the Leica Ultravid 8x20. Second favorite (which I own) is the Zeiss 8x20 FL*T. The Nikon 8x20 LXL is a close third... darn close, but I prefer the ergos of the Zeiss over the Nikon. In fact, I prefer the ergos of the Zeiss over the Leica Ultravid.
