Sorry, I was busy at a bird festival since Thursday and didn't have time to hit the forum.
justa,
Check back on the thread. Binoboy bought the 10x32s and, if I may paraphrase his response, the 10x32 is optically equivalent to the 8x32 with the usual understanding of the differences between any 8x and 10x binocular.
As for the E II and BS comparison, I thought it rather interesting that we are comparing a $180 roof with a $400+ porro. "Back in the day" the accepted wisdom was that in order to find a roof of comparable optical quality to a porro then you had to spend 2-3 times the price.
Having said that, the Sightron is better optically than the Yosemite/clones 8x30s despite the fact that it is, approximately, slightly less than twice their normal prices.
Steve,
I would sell you mine but I am still attached.
