Has anyone tried Kowa BD 10x32 bins? Are they better than the similar priced Opticron Imagic BGA ASFT model?

I looked at a pair at the Birdfair last August, just before they were released in the UK. As I recall they were very nice. They handled well, and the optics looked good, though to be fair, it wasn;t possible to give them a thorough test. They look good value at about £300.

I haven't used the Opticrons.
 
Thanks Trealaw Boy. My budget is £300 max. I see Warehouse Express have them for £299! Unfortunately I don't have a local stockist so can't get to try them.
