I guess I forgot to mention that the celestron "zoom" binoculars had a smaller field of view then the Magnicons, and by the way the Magnicons were 11X50, not 11x80.
You are correct though by saying that it doesn't really matter about the specs.
The ultimate thing would be in the testing of them.
The celestrons are easier to hold at 8X but as soon as you "zoom" with them , the wiggle factor kicks in majorly.
I just came inside the house from looking down the street with them and looking at some telephone poles showed that they were "bending" 3/4 of the way out in the Magnicons.
Those abberations were also evident in the Celestrons , but to a lesser degree because of their "narrower" FOV.
Ill give the testing a go at night in the skies above, and then the real answers will come out then.
