Also, is the quality of Japan made binoculars much better than those from China or Taiwan?

Im pretty sure they are all made in the same factory, just branded differently. To be honest with you, the 9x63 look exactly like the 15x70mm but it likely has better glass, not sure how much better though.
I think the best way to decide is to have them in your hands. Perhaps drop by Bintel
Also, i didnt have to collimate the prisms on my 15x70. I did find the coatings on the objective lens too soft. I managed to put micro scratches them using the cloth they included.
