PLEASE Recommend 15X70 Binos for $500.00AU?

Hi All,
Need some advise on getting a pair of QUALITY! 15X70 Binoculars. I am prepared to spend up to $500.00. Australian Dollars. (could I get a triplet “15X70”?)......20X80 to big thanks!

I have heard the the celestron Skymaster 15X70 have quite a few lemons among them and that many people have had to either send them back more than one, or have had to make their own repairs on them? I like quality gear, so this has kind of put me off the Skymasters.

Basically at this stage the only quality pairs I can fid in Australia is at AOE:
http://www.aoe.com.au/15x70mx.html
MX Ultra $459.00 Australian Dollars.
Could anyone comment on the type of quality one would expect from a pair of binos like these?

The only other Brand that seems to offer quality off the bat is Garret Optic in the USA. I have contacted them about their international dealings...looks as if they do a lot of overseas sales.

Perhaps you could persuade me in another direction, that will still be of quality or even better than what I have listed?

Any help would be great...Thanks!
Dave
