I bought one some years ago, replaced the eyepieces with a couple of vixen 22mm LVWs which gives about 27x mag for some stunning milkyway views, and the moon is fantastic as well. The eyepieces are changeable, but quite hard to exchange, so I just keep the 22mm's in them most of the time, but have used 13mm LVWs as well which provide about 46x. I think the newer ones have better eyepiece collets for easier eyepiece swap. The supplied eyepieces aren't that great.The down side is the weight, with the LVWs and a finder the weight is close to 15kg for the bino body and then there is the mount as well. I used to own the Andrews 25x100 standard Binos as well, but found the optical quality of the 45 deg unit better.As great as these are, I'm getting to the point where the weight is becoming an issue, and find myself using my smaller binoculars more often.
