Is the Aculon a decent line for the money or are there others that would be recommended?

Let's face it, the Aculon is a cheap binocular and you can do better.
The Action range is better - almost twice the price (around $100 vs $200) but is a much better choice. Waterproof, a little heavier, but most importantly has a longer eye relief. I say this as it makes the binoculars just so much easier to use. Check out ebay for prices.
