G'day Dave,
The Pentax PCF II 10x50 should be a good pair of binoculars that will last you many years and $US137 is a very good price.
If you can find a few binoculars to look through even briefly (maybe a local camera shop?) you can get a better idea of what kind of magnification you can hold steady. Most people can handle 10X OK, some prefer a 7x or 8x instead and few (small percentage) can handle 12x, 15x or 16x hand held (generally only after practise). If you find 10x OK then I'd suggest buying a pair of the Pentax PCF II 10x50 you've listed above. If you find 10x too hard to hold still maybe choose the Pentax PCF II 8x40 instead.
Best of luck with your new binoculars whatever they may be! I use mine more than my scopes.
