I have the Orion Mini Giants 9x63 that I bought from Bintel.
As far as night binos go, these are the best I have looked through.
But I would not say that it would be a good choice for looking for any planetary detail on any planet.
It is great for scrolling the milky way, for clusters, and very few nebulae, but not enough magnification for planetary detail (it is only 9xmag).

You are welcome to come and have a look under dark sky if you are in the area. Perhaps you can come to Mangrove Mountain (Pony Club) tomorrow night?

There will be a few different scopes to look through there too.
