I have read this thread a couple times over the last day or so hesitating to jump in.......
I have to agree with most of what krp is saying with the exception of him liking the Steiner 15's, the next Steiner bino I like will be the first.
I have tried to like 12's but like krp says they are tweeners, for me I have a Swaro 10x and a Swaro 15x with a Leica spotter.
The only thing I could suggest in the OP's $800 price range is the Tract Toric 10x50, my son bought a set and I think they are great for the money
