I just spent two weeks in the wilds of Costa Rica and can tell you that a good 32 [Conquest HD] is consistently outgunned by a good 42 [HT] - for brightness, veiling glare, contrast, ease of view etc. I was pretty amazed at how much better the 42 was at seeing detail in the canopy, especially when light was adverse.
Maybe for ''regular birding'' use a good 32 will fit the bill, but as a one-and-only, in the toughest viewing conditions, I need a good 42.
In that vein, I would say that any 32 mm binoc. is not the best birding binocular in the world................cue Dennis.
