Possibly a combination,of the extra 6mm aperture,AND the extra 1x Mag.
Maybe not just aperture and mag. The coatings on the AOE binos are very good. They used to have a whole page on their website going on and on about how good the coatings on their binos are, and to be honest I used to think it was mostly advertising drivel. But I bought their 7x50HG and it was all true. The coatings are very good indeed and give great contrast and transmission.

BTW, if you have not tried an ultra-light pair of quality binos, they are worth a look too: 8x42 Fujinon BFL. Comfort goes a long way.
