Hi Dave,
Looking at the two, I would get the Andrews 20X80 with the hard carry case with custom foam insert for only $229!
The soft one that comes with the 11X70mm ones I have is pretty much useless when it comes to protecting them so I recommend the custom fitted hard case version.'
The AOE ones look exactly the same (as Steve pointed out) so if your budget stretches to $230, snap these ones up.
Keep in mind, the exit pupil on binos is the aperture divided by the magnification, so in this case will be 4mm, one reason I got my 11X70's is because the exit pupil is closer to 7mm and this matters more because as you get older, your eye cant open as far so some of the light coming through the binos cant get in!. Also, the wider field of the lower mag really broadens the view and increases contrast.
A few things to consider....
Cheers
Chris
