id say get a celestron pair- reason is you get a lifetime no fault warrantee and they,re cheap- i had the 12X60 and 15X70 skymasters and sent them both back for a refund because of defects- but i would still recommend them even at this- someone just got a pair a $600 fuji,s and was greatly dissapointed with the quality in the new models, saying the 15x70 skymasters were comparable at 1/10th the cost for $68- for the record when i went on vacation last year and got a no-name (y&y) for $90- they were 20x80,s- collimation was spack on with terrific color control- they were WF bino- super performers for such a low cost-i guess what im saying is, all being imports i seriously doubt a $500 pair is $450 better then a $50 pair
