Otherwise, what about the large 100mm binos offered by AOE and Andrews with interchangeable oculars/decent mount?
They are a hell of a lot cheaper than the M's.
They are similar in price, you just get less aperture per $ with the Miyauchi (71mm vs 100mm). But I expect that to be quality aperture that can handle higher powers. The Chinese models would suffer from too much false colour I reckon. How about a good refractor and a pair of binoviewers? (Played around with an ED80 on the w/e; very nice for binoviewing.)

Agreed. The 7-10x50, 15x70 and 20x80 Saxon binos I've looked through were optically inferior to the 7x50HG from AOE and the 20x80 triplet from Andrews.
