a quick search of that brand name mostly calls up imported chinese binoculars - i think 220 may be a bit of a risk from a pawn shop.
i would tend to go for a recognised telescope retailer..either aoe.com.au or andrewscom.com.au or bintel.com.au
I like 15x70 for light weight and good field of view, but 20x80 - especially the triplet variety is very popular here.
Keep in mind once you get above 10x magnification (the first number) - the bino is very difficut to hand hold - and a tripod is usually necessary
