My wife's first binocular were the discover 8x32. We still have it, although it's in need of attention. I had once tried a friend's Traveller MG 8x32 and thought that it was very good, significantly better than the Discovery, but then you would expect that as the Traveller costs around £250 compared to the £145 for the Discovery. I recall that the Traveller is made in Japan and carries a better warranty.
I bought two Travellers, they have a smaller FOV but more saturated colours than the Discovery. Sadly, those two didn't seem to match the sharpness of my friend's example, I returned them. They were both ex-display/demo bins, so perhaps they were not the best examples to buy. I didn't get to try them side by side with the Discovery.
Just lately, I have been looking for a small 8x32 for hiking. I have found a few. One, for example, is the Viking Vistron Pro 8x32. A similar weight and size to the Discovery, but with the similar FOV to the Traveller.
Here's an interesting binocular that looks so like the Traveller that I wonder if it is the same optics.
Burris Signature Select
The Burris Signature Select 8x32. Made in Japan, very similar specs although not the Magnesium body. I am very tempted to try a pair at £125, but for their weight of around 460g and the similar small FOV of around 6.5 degrees (a bit of a deal breaker for me these days).
There's not many sub 400g binoculars out there, but at 430g, the Nikon 7 8x30 (at a similar price to the Traveller) really deserves serious thought.
Incidentally, in my search, I found a seller offering the Bushnell Elite 7x26 reverse porro at around £170 inc UK import duties. Another one for thought. It's agony....
