Better quality binoculars worth it?

Hi all,
I have a pair of 11x56 binoculars which have been ok (AOE branded). Being 11x they are a little tricky to keep steady so I'm thinking of getting something a little more manageable, 10x50s perhaps. I'm not interested using a tripod/mount.

My question is, all other things being equal (aperture, magnification) what noticeable differences do you get by spending more for higher quality/better brand binos? Is it just sharpness of stars? I've always wondered what people get when paying Swarovski prices!

Cheers,
Dean
