The Chinese `Ultra' series of military style binos that are drawing attention at the moment are probably almost on par with the Fujinons. I've compared them favorably on the sky in the 15X70 size. The 10 X 50 ED 's ( Williams Optics branded ) are selling at Andrews for $399. AstroPhysics in the USA are selling them under their own brand, which is a pretty good endorsement.

Warning they are quite heavy though.
