Looking for Binoculars

G'day, I'm just thinking of getting a pair of binoculars for astronomy and some casual terrestrial viewing. This will be handheld, no mounts or anything like that. Have a budget of say $300-400. Heard good things about Orion's Mini giant 9x63, while others say 10x50's are a great all rounder. Tempted to go a tad higher in magnification for astro, but shakes might be an issue.

Any recommendations? And experiences hand holding binoculars larger/higher magnification than 10x50?
