If you have to ask then my guess is that they are probably not worth the extra $ for you right now. The cheaper 15x70s are very capable binos and great value for money. If you are considering using them hand held at all then note that the cheapies are a lot lighter. But at 15x you really need to put binos on a mount to get the most out of them. For hand held use you really need to get something with 10x power or less.
