Spoke with Doug from Cameraland last week on the same subject. Vortex Razor HD's for around 900. He said (and he sells a lot of binos, including the big 3) that I would not be able to tell the difference from my Leica Geovids. That's high praise from a guy who can sell any of them and does sell a lot. He is a sponsor on here and highly thought of.


Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
