It appears that all the "binocular recommendations" threads are about roof prism binoculars. I have read that porro prism designs offer equal or better optical performance at a lower price, but not as compact or as durable as roof prism designs. What are the best porro prism options out there and at what price ranges? I see that Leica has developed a Perger-Porro prism hybrid technology as well.

I'm interested in the topic because mabye its possible to get Alpha roof prism optical performance from a porro at a much lower price. This may be a good option for people who don't necessarily need the compactness and durability of the roof prism design.
