I personally think 12x is too much to hand hold - 10x really is the limit.
I really prefer FMC - the MC ones tend to have a little reflection/light bouncing on bright targets which is reduced with FMC.
8x60 - how much do they weigh -1kg is about the most you can hold for long periods. Also note the exit pupil will be 7.5 - if you are over 50 it is possible your exit pupil only open to 5 or 6mm so some of the aperture will be wasted.
IF you want to see the most 10x would make a small difference over 8x. Do you live in the city or country ie whats light pollution like.
Strange that AOE didn't get back to you - usually give good service - did you try calling them..they inspect their binos whereas andrews don't i believe - which is important when buying the cheaper models
