I don't know the quality of the brands you mention (Celestron binos so cheap!?). What I do know is the cheapest pair (eBay usually) aren't much chop. You will be better served with a pair stating "multi coated" which are a higher standard. Also, many of these cheapies are not really what they state. I've seen advertised 80mm binos that are actually 50mm! These cheapies too can have a very narrow field of view, with nothing to do with the stated FOV.
The 11X70 I have from Andrews is $169. So are their 15X70. I have no problem recommending their binos & their service is top notch. Any problem with the binos & they will deal with them. That is something that the ultra cheapie sellers can't offer. Other retailers here in Oz will do the same.
