hiya,

I am trying to decide between these binoculars:

AOE - 10x50HR
or
AOE - 9x60

The reason for the difficulty is simply trying to decide the most important factors between eye-relief and exit pupil.

My wife and I wear glasses and are mid-30's.

So, is Eye relief or exit pupil of greater importance.

For the 10x50HR's:
Exit pupil = 5 mm
Eye-relief = 23 mm
Weight = 900g

For the 9x60's:
Exit pupil = 6.7 mm
Eye-relief = 21 mm
Weight = 1.2 kg

We will take these bushwalking and will most likely be lying down or against a rock when viewing.

thanks for any comments.

cheers,
DJDD
