I'm trying to decide which 8x42 I'll really hunt down used now that I've got a better pair of compacts. Seems like in the price range I can tolerate, I'm looking at the following 3. Is one of these so clearly better than the other two?
Nikon Monarch
Vortex Diamondback
Eagle Optics Ranger SRT or Platinum Ranger
As another aside, I've got a pair of Bushnell 8x42s that worked for about a month, then somewhere between home and a beach in Baja Sur, they started seeing double (accompanied obviously with a splitting headache). Has anyone had any experience getting their Bushnell's repaired, and is it even worth the costs their repair services charge?
