I wouldn't buy a Nikon EDG binocular either, but that doesn't hide the fact that they have as good of optics as can be found on the planet, period. Kowa spotters do too.
You need to check your facts about Leica....they suck badly for resale, given their pathetic warranty and customer service problems.
I am far from "knowing it all", but I have put my money where my mouth is as far as optics go, having owned a few dozen binoculars in all price ranges and used them side by side with the 130'ish hunter's optics that have come into camp. Real world, not guessing, at least that's what my own eyeballs tell me.
Not in the industry, I just get a little miffed when someone posts things that are so blatantly full of BS like most of your posts in this forum.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
