Achro vs binoculars

What are people's thoughts on a really big pair of mounted binoculars (100x25, say) vs the short focal length refractors being discussed here?

I'm planning on getting a pair of those big binoculars, the question is whether if I owned these whether that leaves enough of a niche to fill between the binoculars and a bigger main scope that I'd end up using another refractor?

My parallelogram mount project already pairs 10x50 binoculars with an entry level 80mm refractor and these are fun together, but if I go big on the binoculars I wonder if mounting them as a pair would be worth the trouble any more or if I should just go back to singly mounting the binoculars.
