hmmm. Thanks for everyones thoughts/experience.
Can't say I'm anymore confident on taking the plunge,lol.
You have to figure out how you want to use them. The FOV is going to be less than say a 8x40 set and the low light capability is also going to be less than the larger glass. If you are going to use them on backpack hunts and will be glassing for hours you need to get good glass. OTOH if you are going to use them to verify which animal your guide wants you to shoot or only for casual viewing, the glass quality may not be as critical for you.
Like everything, some compromise may be required and only you can decide where or on what you will compromise.
