It's your money obviously, but if I had $1200 to spend on binos it wouldn't be a Vortex anything. You can find one of the best binos made, a demo Zeiss FL, for about the same money. You can also find a Cabelas Meopta HD for $1000. Don't forget about a used/demo SLCneu from swaro for around $1200. If you can find a Leupold GR HD you'll find one of the very best, most underrated hunting binos made. They're tough to find, but worth the wait around $500 or so. Good luck, just my opinion.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Everyone's eyes are different. Get both and compare them. I called one of Vortex dealer. They don't think Razor HD has field flattener glasses.

Agreed, i own the Primes and Swaro's and while the Primes are excellent in there price bracket they aren't Swarovski or Zeiss good! Close but, no!

I have both. My Razor HD is the original HD not the current one. The Prime quite frankly kicks the Razors butt.

Yes, I have tried the old style Razor HD. One barrel has some issues so I could not get sharp focus. I don't expect either of them to be Swarovski good.

The Prime is damned close.
