I am kind of new here so any help you can give I am sure will help. For 25 years I have been with my 40 oz B&L discovers in 7x50,but they are now to heavy. My wife has a pair of 7x35's at 20 oz. but they are acting like the heavy 7x50's they wobble to light . I like 7 power so a 7x42 Leica ultra vid might fix the problem at 27 oz's What do you think ? And are they a good bino I have not seen much about them. I do not want to get to near 40oz again.Do you think 27oz is enough ? may be to hard for you to know anyway ,Thanks for your input.

For general purpose, a 7x with 6mm exit pupil has a lot to like. Easy to hold, easy to look through. Not too heavy, not too light, go for it!
While you are at it, try the older 7x42 Dialyt too. They are real comfortable to use.

I never heard anybody complain about a 27 binocular being too light. I think you'll get used to it and like it. Since you are happy with 7x, I think a 7x42 is the way to go.
I have used several Leicas although not that exact one, and they have all been excellent. Of the tip top models currently being made, the Ultravid HD is the only one that comes in a 7x42. You could probably still find a Zeiss FL 7x42 for a better price than a new Leica, try both if you can. The Swarovski SLC neu 7x42 has been out of production so long it would probably be hard to find a new one.
