Yes................10x42 does it all.

Nothing wrong with 8's but I like a 42 over a 32 all day & twice on Sunday.

I've used Leica for a long time, but plenty of good glass available today at lower prices that what top glass was when there were fewer manufacturers.

But the glass is not the only consideration, mechanics & robustness count too...................buy the best you can afford. Buy once, cry once. Top end glass is not something you replace often as "better" glass in the higher end price range evolves very slowly over time.

YMHO, YMMV
