They are both top of the line binoculars, so I would expect both to be well made and able to handle many years of use. I'd go with the one that proves the best fit and feel for you. Is it comfortable in your hands? How do you like the focus - does it have the feel and speed you like? Spend some time with each, and you should get a pretty good idea which fits your needs.

Have you thought about which magnification you want? Some folks like the generally wider field and better "steadiness" of lower powers. Others, who are comfortable hand holding higher powers, like the extra detail a higher power can pull in.
