Agree with many of the opinion's above. I also own $$ Euro bino's but once I started using Nikon's MONARCH HG's that was it. It also had nothing to do with me doing freelance work with Nikon either. When I am hunting in TX,OK,KS or OR I use the best optic's I have and those are the HG's. An older guy from Maine I recently hunted with had the HG's and also loved em. When you are going to spend a grand on bino's, it's definitely worth looking through the ones you like and buying what works best for your eyes.
