Travel scope or Binoculars?

Just like the title says I was wondering if people have any advice on the best option? I'm travelling quite a bit at the moment and there's no way the 10" is coming along. While IIS and S&T mag. fill some of the void they do little more than to fuel my urge to do a little visual observing. I have been thinking of packing my finderscope, which at 50mm isn't short of the aperture I'm looking at. As for price I might spend say $500-600 all up and a little more for a tripod. All thoughts and advice appreciated.

Edit: I should state that the 60mm scope would have to be a short focal length obviously for compactness and richer field of view. eg stellarvue sv60
