Hi Dennis yes those 7x50and 10x50 MX are from the same 'family'. These binos are made by the 'Kunming- United Optics' factory in China. [ Google it and look under 'giant' binoculars ]. These are the top end ' BA8 ' range with the highest specs available. Other companies market the the same range such as Oberwerk, Astrophysics and Orion [as the 'Resolux' which I have]. Yes I would strongly recommend looking at the 10x50 MX's - they will give you excellent build and image quality and are easily hand holdable. They will last you a lifetime. They are nitrogen filled so fill never internally 'bloom' or 'fog' with mildew and they will hold collimation well as they are shockproof. Peter above does recommend the Canon Image Stabiliser binos and I do agree with him - these are also excellent binos. I have never owned one but have viewed thru one on several occasions.The summary being - do spend the extra cash on a top end model - you will not regret it. Chris
