Has anyone bought and used the Maven 15x56? How does it compare to the other 15x binos out there including the Zeiss 15x BGAT?

I am thinking not many will reply. That model is $1,400. and that is high end territory.
I suppose you could do a net search for any reviews.

There's a 20 x 56 Vortex Kaibab on special at Doug's site for $1K. Unbeatable, unless you go to $2K ...

Thanks Talus however, I was looking for a use or evaluation review of the Maven.

Outdoor life reviewed it this year as well as the near identical new Leupold Santium. Neither fared very well. Also would not recommend the Vortex Kiabab or Meopta or Styrka S9.
Your money would be better spent on a second hand Zeiss Conquest HD at around $1200 for lightly used. The Zeiss outperforms all the previous mentioned glass. Only better 15x56 is the the current Swarovski SLC and only slightly.
