I have owned 2 sets of Vortex Razor Binos 8x42 and a 10x50. I thought they were nice optics but having owned Alpha binos before I could not be satisfied .I got them at a significant discount and would not buy them again even if they were lower priced. They have a stellar warranty but so do a number of companies that have higher rated products with I might add better resale value if you care to offload them.
