I own both an alpha 8X30 and 10X42. Can't recall a situation where the 8X30 would have been a better choice for the glassing scenario. Sometimes its easier and more convenient to carry, but I prefer glassing with the 10X42 by a significant margin. If both were lost tomorrow morning I'd replace the 10X42 by tomorrow evening. I doubt I'd buy another 8X30 until a particular circumstance would dictate their use.
